Shipper’s Responsibility• Understand Risks• Comply with Regulations– Packaging– Labeling– Documentation
November 13, 2013Copyright 2013 @all rights reserved
Li-Ion Battery Packaging• Prevent Short-Circuit– Cover Connectors (tape or poly-bag)
• Physically separate from other batteries– Poly-bag, wrap individually bubble wrap
• Prevent movement , accidental activation & physical damage– Layer with bubble wrap / use divided tray or
individual container
