Other types of batteries, including lithium ion and lithium metal types, also may be fully regulated as hazardous materials (also known as dangerous goods) for transportation, so that in addition to those basic safety precautions they require use of specialized packaging, specific hazard labeling, and specific documents certifying compliance wit...
Lithium-ion battery packs do feature a battery management system (BMS) which is designed to protect the battery cells and prevent failures from occurring. The BMS tracks data including temperature, cell voltage, cell current, and cell charge to help ensure that each part of the battery is working correctly and safely.

UPS has assembled this illustrative guide to help you safely pack and ship many kinds of batteries. In some cases, such as with alkaline or certain nonspillable lead-acid batteries, your responsibilities
All batteries count toward your 20 battery limit. That includes dry cell alkaline and nickel-based batteries. You can carry up to two lithium batteries rated 100-160Wh or 2-8g of lithium content. You can bring up to two non-spillable batteries in your carry-on bags. These include gel cell, sealed lead acid and valve-regulated lead acid
Lithium batteries can often be incorrectly packaged or labeled, leading to fines and loss of business. Our latest white paper "Make Lithium Batteries Safe to Ship" tells you all of what you need to know about this critical
Use a sturdy outer packaging, such as a double-walled cardboard box, to secure the device. Place the battery in inner packaging (e.g., a sealed plastic bag) to prevent short circuits. Secure the battery to the equipment or within the packaging to prevent movement.

Package wet-cell batteries in containers, including metal containers, with acid/alkali leakproof liner — sealed to prevent leakage. Fasten batteries securely with fill openings and vents facing up to prevent short-circuiting or overheating. Position multiple batteries side by side, separated by non-conductive dividers.
regulations applicable to lithium batteries change often, both internationally and domestically in the United States. About lithium batteries Because lithium batteries are designed to provide high levels of power, the electrical energy in these batteries is significant, meaning that such batteries can sometimes generate a great
Other types of batteries, including lithium ion and lithium metal types, may be fully regulated as hazardous materials (also known as dangerous goods) for transportation, so that in addition to
Secure battery in a leakproof box. Package wet cell batteries in containers, including metal containers, with acid/alkali leakproof liner — sealed to prevent leakage. Fasten batteries securely with fill openings and vents facing up to prevent short-circuiting or overheating.
Lithium batteries can often be incorrectly packaged or labeled, leading to fines and loss of business. Our latest white paper "Make Lithium Batteries Safe to Ship" tells you all of what you need to know about this critical area, from the different chemistries involved to the many solutions on offer across the value chain.
Lithium metal batteries packed by themselves (not contained in or packed with equipment) (Packing Instruction 968) are forbidden for transport as cargo on passenger aircraft).
Effective July 1, 2015, all existing customers and new customers who wish to ship lithium metal batteries without equipment (UN3090) via UPS ® Air services must obtain pre-approval from UPS Airlines. This requirement is to ensure that proper training has occurred and that all applicable safety regulations are properly followed for such shipments.
Sealed Design: One of the primary distinctions of SLA batteries is their sealed design. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, which require regular maintenance to replenish electrolyte levels and prevent leakage, SLA batteries are hermetically sealed. This feature not only eliminates the need for maintenance but also makes SLA batteries
As lithium batteries cycle, they accumulate little islands of inactive lithium that are cut off from the electrodes, decreasing the battery''s capacity to store charge. But the research team discovered that they could make this "dead" lithium creep like a worm toward one of the electrodes until it reconnects, partially reversing the unwanted process. Adding this extra step

Our latest white paper “Make Lithium Batteries Safe to Ship” tells you all of what you need to know about this critical area, from the different chemistries involved to the many solutions on offer across the value chain.
Lithium-ion batteries must be packaged in compliance with regulations including UN3480, UN3481, and IATA-specific rules. (Picture credit: GWP Group) Lithium-ion batteries in transit may not exceed a defined maximum state of charge (SoC) – their level of charge relative to capacity.
* Packaging for shipments of lithium batteries shipped alone or packed with equipment must be able to withstand a 1.2-metre drop test, and all batteries must be packed to eliminate the possibility of a short-circuit or activation. Do not use envelopes or any other soft-sided packs.
Ensure that lithium batteries are individually packaged in fully enclosed inner packaging such as a plastic blister wrap or pasteboard to provide protection for each battery. Shield and protect lithium batteries to prevent short circuits or contact with conductive materials within the pack-aging that could cause short circuits.
This applies to all shipments of lithium ion and metal batteries whether alone, contained in equipment, packed with equipment or powering a vehicle. There is no expectation for the shipper/distributor to provide paper copies with each consignment containing lithium batteries.
Regulations for shipping lithium batteries by air are in place to protect everyone who would come in contact with a lithium battery shipment while it is being transported as air cargo; with training being required for everyone in this supply chain, to protect the aircraft, and the people in the aircraft, that is carrying the batteries.
