Lithium ion batteries with a nominal capacity exceeding 100 Wh and lithium metal batteries containing over 2g of lithium are classed as dangerous goods (Class 9), as such there are strict requirements for transporting them via road, air, sea and rail. Simplified requirements apply for other lithium batteries that do not reach these thresholds.
Lithium-ion battery shipments must include proper labelling and marking, such as the “Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods” label, which indicates that the package contains hazardous materials. A lithium battery handling label warns handlers and transporters that the package contains lithium batteries and must be handled with care.
