How to Ship Batteries by Ground and Air



If you ship batteries by ground or air, you must comply with DOT or IATA regulations for how the batteries are packaged, marked, labeled, and transported.  The rules apply not only to batteries, but also to equipment or vehicles that contain batteries.  Virtually all types of batteries are regulated, including lithium, lead-acid, nickel cadmium, and metal hydride, alkaline.  All personnel involved in the packaging, marking, labeling, or shipment of batteries must receive initial training, followed up by recurrent training every three years for ground shipments and every two years for air shipments.

 

In this course, you will learn the regulations that apply to the types of batteries you ship, how to package them, when the packages must be drop-tested, the recent changes in the package marks, shipping papers, and emergency contact requirements.
