Can I ship lithium batteries by air?

While these restrictions may feel complex and burdensome, you can find quick guidelines for compliantly shipping any type of lithium batteries (by any mode) using our Lithium Battery Advisor software. Yes, you can still ship lithium batteries by air.

How to store batteries in the Ion-line safety cabinets?

If you only want to store batteries in the cabinet, choose the STORE version. If you intend to charge (active storage) batteries directly in the cabinet, then choose the CHARGE version. ► Find out exactly how the safety concept of the asecos ION-LINE safety cabinets works in our video.

Can lithium ion batteries be transported at 0% SoC?

In this work, we investigate the viability of transporting Li-ion batteries, more specifically lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, at voltages corresponding to 0% SoC and lower, i.e., after removing almost all of the energy stored in the electrochemical system.

How are lithium-metal batteries handled?

Because of higher lithium content, lithium-metal batteries are handled separately under PI 968 to 970 (UN3090 and UN3092). Most lithium-metal are non-rechargeable. Transporting lithium batteries is divided into two categories: Non-Class 9 hazardous material shipment.
