Transporting Spent Lead Acid Batteries The requirements to properly transport Lead Acid Batteries are found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, and Section 173.159(e),
Wet batteries, also known as flooded lead-acid batteries, are commonly found in vehicles and backup power systems. They contain a liquid electrolyte solution, typically sulfuric acid, which enables the chemical reactions necessary to generate electricity. These batteries are known for their affordability and ability to provide high currents.
There are many types of batteries that have different requirements when you wish to mail or ship them internationally: Wet batteries, also known as flooded lead-acid batteries, are commonly found in vehicles and backup power systems.
Label dimension: 100mm x 100mm (3.94″ x 3.94″) Figure 4: Class 9 Hazardous Material Label. Packaging Instruction 966 — governs Li-ion cells and battery packs with equipment (UN 3481) and Packaging Instruction 967 — governs Li-ion cells and battery packs in equipment (UN3481) These regulations are similar to PI 965 with the exceptions that Li-ion cells and battery packs
What are the requirements of Special Provision 34? Special Provision 34 exempts a person from the TDG Regulations (except for Parts 1 and 2) if lithium cells or batteries are handled, offered for transport or transported on a road vehicle, railway vehicle or vessel on a domestic voyage and if certain conditions are met.. If each cell and battery type has not passed all the tests in
First and foremost, it is essential to determine the type of battery you are importing. Different types of batteries may have different regulations, so it is important to understand the specific requirements for each type. Common types of batteries include lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and alkaline batteries.
Battery Generators can store one ton or less of used lead acid batteries for a period of 12 months before shipping to a recycler. If you have more than one ton then you may only store for 180 days. If these times are exceeded the generator is no longer exempt from the regulations for generation, storage and transportation of hazardous waste.
If being transported on a passenger aircraft any one package can be no more than 55lbs (25kg) in weight (there is no limit for cargo only aircraft). UN2800 – Batteries, Wet, Non-spillable . Non-spillable lead acid batteries (those that use Gel or Absorbent Glass Matt technology) require the same packaging as those filled with acid with the following differences: No acid proof liner is
Some wet, non-spillable sealed lead-acid batteries grouped under UN 2800 are exempt from Class 8. The battery manufacturer must declare how a battery is regulated on its associated Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and most AGM (absorbent glass mat) batteries can be shipped under the simpler UN 2800 directive.

The transportation of lead acid batteries by road, sea and air is heavily regulated in most countries. Lead acid is defined by United Nations numbers as either: The definition of ‘non-spillable’ is important. A battery that is sealed is not necessarily non-spillable.
If you are shipping domestically within Canada, we would look at Packing Instruction 801 in the TP14850. Here it says that the lead acid batteries may be handled, offered for transport, or transported in a non-UN Standardized container if the dangerous goods are placed in a rigid container, wooden slatted crate, or on a pallet.
The most common packaging method used for transporting used lead acid batteries destined for recycling is the wood pallet. The Battery Council International (BCI*) provides some excellent guidelines on how to package the different types of lead acid batteries for highway & rail transport.
Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits. This would include, when practicable, packaging the battery in fully enclosed packaging made of non-conductive material, and ensuring terminals aren’t exposed.
Similarly, the IMDG code sets out similar requirements at Packing instruction P801 when you are shipping internationally by Sea. Using UN packaging would also be acceptable to ship lead acid batteries within Canada as well as by Sea internationally. If you are shipping internationally by air, we would look in IATA at Packing instruction 870.
The 3 main Federal Regulations that relate to the safe management of used or spent lead acid batteries, are; The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Hazardous Waste Regulations, regulated under Subtitle C of the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
