Lithium Ion Battery Packaging 101
Each battery must be placed in individual, non-metallic packaging. The inner packaging MUST be made of cushioning material that is non-combustible, non-conductive and absorbent.”
The packaging material for lithium-ion batteries should be of optimal quality. Lithium-ion batteries must be packaged in an inner packaging that surrounds them, like a fiberboard box, to prevent short circuits. Opt for rigid outer packaging like a metal box, a wood or a fiberboard.
Each battery must be individually packaged in non-metallic packaging made of cushioning material that is non-combustible, non-conductive and absorbent. The individual packaging must then be enclosed in outer packaging. Outer packaging can be made from metal, wood, or plastic.
Lithium ion batteries, essential for a multitude of devices and applications, are subject to stringent packaging regulations set by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
Yes. Poor packaging can expose batteries to moisture, heat, or physical stress, leading to reduced efficiency, shorter lifespan, or even failure. Proper packaging helps maintain optimal performance. Are there specific rules for shipping damaged batteries?
