Lithium-ion batteries or lithium-metal batteries can be shipped on cargo-only aircraft provided certain conditions are met, or through ground transportation. The ban was first introduced by Protective Direction No. 35 (issued by Transport Canada on March 22, 2016). Protective Direction No. 35 has been replaced by the new provisions of the TDGR.
When properly certified and packaged, lithium batteries can be shipped by land, sea, rail, or air. However, medium and large batteries are not accepted for air cargo transport.

Due to the large amount of energy stored in even small batteries they can cause fires and / or explode. Consequently, they are classified as a Dangerous Good in the Australian code for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ADGC). The road and rail transport requirements laid out in the ADGC for Lithium Batteries are complex and not easily understood. I have written this

When properly certified and packaged, lithium batteries can be shipped by land, sea, rail, or air. However, medium and large batteries are not accepted for air cargo transport. Dangerous goods must meet the criteria outlined in the United Nations'' Manual of Tests and Criteria, which includes detailed regulations for the safe handling of shipments.
Transporting batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries, requires a thorough understanding of safety regulations and best practices. This guide provides detailed information on how to effectively and safely transport batteries, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and minimizing risks associated with their hazards. Key Considerations for
The detailed requirements for any given lithium battery shipment may vary significantly depending on the battery type, size, quantity, configuration, weight, transporter, destination, and mode of transportation. It also depends on whether you are shipping batteries or cells only, cells or batteries packed with equipment (separately in the same

Transporting lithium batteries by road is governed by several regulatory frameworks designed to mitigate these risks. The primary regulations include: UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Provides a global framework for classifying, packaging, and transporting dangerous goods, including lithium batteries.

This paper reviews the international and key national (U.S., Europe, China, South Korea, and Japan) air, road, rail, and sea transportation requirements for lithium batteries. This review is needed because transportation regulations are not consistent across countries and national regulations are not consistent with international regulations.
This chapter will discuss the technical requirements and status of applying lithium-ion batteries to electrified vehicles. It will begin by introducing the principles of vehicle propulsion
