Can I ship a LiPo battery?

Can I post something with batteries in?

These items must be presented at a Post Office counter. Lithium ion/polymer batteries sent in isolation are prohibited. The maximum number of batteries allowed in each package is the number that may be connected to the equipment plus two spares. The maximum net quantity of cells or batteries is 5kg per package.

A laptop computer contains a lithium ion battery. It is rechargeable and has a watt-hour reading of less than 100 wh. It is considered dangerous goods, UN3481 “Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment.”

Here are top tips for sending food through UPS.

But here, in a nutshell, are the 4 things you need to know about the battery inside your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. 1. It’s a lithium-ion polymer battery, though it sometimes goes by its shorter name, lithium-ion, or Li-ion. Lithium-ion technology isn’t new; even the “polymer” part goes back to the 1970s.

A nonspillable lead acid battery that does not meet the testing requirements noted above must be shipped as a Class 8 Corrosive hazardous material. “Dry cell” batteries, such as alkaline, nickel cadmium, and carbon zinc are not listed as hazardous materials or dangerous goods in the U.S. and international regulations.

Lithium-ion batteries are used in laptops and many other electrical devices because they have a high energy density. Unfortunately, while it is not common, they have been known to cause fires.

No and yes. According to the U.S. government, lithium ion batteries aren’t an environmental hazard. “Lithium Ion batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream,” says Kate Krebs at the National Recycling Coalition.

A non-spillable battery which is an integral part of and necessary for the operation of mechanical or electronic equipment must be securely fastened in the battery holder on the equipment. (2) The battery and outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked “NON-SPILLABLE” or “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY.”

While spillable wet cell batteries (the kind of battery used in cars or motorcycles) are normally not allowed on aircraft in checked or carry-on baggage, you can bring them on an aircraft if they are part of a passenger’s electric wheelchair.

Lithium batteries can only be shipped internationally if they are installed in the equipment they operate. Shipping carriers are not allowed to ship packages containing only lithium batteries or cells to international locations – they must be included inside a product.

Lithium ion battery handling label and lithium ion battery safety document is required for packages containing >4 cells or >2 batteries. Your package does not need to be shipped as UPS Dangerous Goods. Please see U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations for further details about shipping requirements.

Batteries. Mailable batteries include: Common household dry-cell batteries such as sizes AA, AAA, C, D, etc. are generally not regulated as hazardous materials and are therefore mailable. For lithium and lithium-ion batteries, see 349.22.

Batteries Allowed in Checked Bags: Except for spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries, all the batteries allowed in carry-on baggage are also allowed in checked baggage; however, we recommend that you pack them in your carry-on bag whenever possible.

Energizer e2 lithium AA batteries produce 1.5 volts, so they can be used to replace any regular alkaline AA units in most cases. WEIGHT: Lithium batteries are much lighter than alkaline batteries. This is a great convenience for portable devices.
