Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations,
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement
Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium‑ion
cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D WALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified
e
as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require
being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium‑ion batteries have the Watt Hour
rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, D WALT does not
e
recommend air shipping lithium‑ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating.
Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the
shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking
and documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and

Transporting the FLEXVOLT Battery
TM
The D WALT FLEXVOLT battery has two modes: Use and Transport.
TM
e
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT battery stands alone or is in a D WALT 18V product, it
TM
e
will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V
TM
batteries) product, it will operate as a 54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
TM battery, the battery is in
Transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with
a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of
3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping
regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport Wh rating might
Example of Use and Transport Label Marking
indicate 3 x 36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh
each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108 Wh
(1 battery implied).
