Can lithium batteries be sent by courier? What are the requirements of express companies for lithium batteries?After years of development, the safety of lithium batteries has been greatly improved, but lithium batteries still have a certain degree of danger. Customs import and export, logistics transportation, and warehouse storage have strict management regulations on lithium batteries.
So, can lithium batteries be sent by express? What are the requirements of express companies for lithium batteries?
The four major international express DHL, FEDEX, UPS, TNT can mail battery goods.
Types of batteries accepted by DHL: Li-ion batteries, batteries, battery packs, laptop batteries, camera batteries, mobile phone batteries, etc.
Types of batteries accepted by FEDEX and TNT: lithium-ion batteries, batteries, battery packs, lithium metal batteries, super-weight batteries, brand batteries, dry batteries, mobile power supplies.
Battery types accepted by UPS: Lithium-ion batteries, batteries, battery packs, dry cells, brand batteries.
When mailing lithium batteries, they must meet the corresponding requirements for transportation, as follows:
1. Lithium batteries must have UN38.3 certificates, MSDS reports, etc.
2. Lithium batteries must be isolated from each other in a completely encapsulated inner package.
3. Measures must be taken to prevent short circuits.
4. The packaging box must be sturdy and able to pass the 1.2M drop test without damaging the battery, moving the internal objects, or exposing the internal objects.
5. The heavy or bulky battery pack must be effectively isolated with foam and other materials.
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) has become the main energy storage solution in modern social life. Among them, lithium iron phosphate batteries are a perfect replacement for lead-acid batteries, and they are the first choice for grid-connected peak shaving, off-grid energy storage, photovoltaic energy storage, UPS, data center and other industries.
The application of lithium batteries is becoming more and more extensive, and the corresponding transportation of lithium batteries is also increasing. We must do a good job of safety protection during transportation.
