C-4 Lithium Battery Replacement, Handling, and Disposal

Three or More Batteries

Procedures for the transportation of three or more batteries shipped

together within the United States are specified by the Department of

Transportation (DOT) in the Code of Federal Regulations, CRF49,

“Transportation”. An exemption to these regulations, DOT – E7052,

covers the transport of certain hazardous materials classified as

flammable solids. This exemption authorizes transport of lithium

batteries by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel, and cargo-only

aircraft, providing certain conditions are met. Transport by passenger

aircraft is not permitted.

A special provision of the DOT – E7052 (11th Rev., October 21, 1982,

par. 8-a) provides that:

Persons that receive cell and batteries covered by this exemption

may reship them pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 173.22a in

any of these packages authorized in this exemption including

those in which they were received.

The Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CRF 173.22a, relates to the use of

packaging authorized under exemptions. In part, it requires that you

must maintain a copy of the exemption at each facility where the

packaging is being used in connection with shipment under the

exemption.

Shipment of depleted batteries for disposal may be subject to specific

regulation of the countries involved or to regulations endorsed by

those countries, such as the IATA Restricted Articles Regulations of the

International Air Transport Association, Geneva, Switzerland.

Regulations for transportation of lithium batteries are periodically

revised.
