Transporting Lithium Ion Batteries
This section discusses the regulations governing the transportation of Lithium Ion cells and
batteries both within the United States and internationally. You should read and understand all
relevant regulations discussed in this section before shipping TI 12V/110 modules. This section
includes the following sections:
• Overview
• Regulations by Cell/Battery Size
• Following UN and DOT Regulations
Notice!
The regulations discussed in this manual apply to Lithium Ion cells and batteries. Once the TI
12V/110 is integrated into a host product, the host product may be subject to additional trans-
portation regulations that require additional certification testing. You must verify that your TI
12V/110 – powered host product is compliant with all applicable regulations. Refer to Table2 -3
for a list of UN numbers to reference to find applicable regulations for your application.
