Lithium-ion batteries constitute hazardous goods. The battery
modules are constructed and tested such that they can be
transported, up to a total weight of 333 kg, in compliance with the
conditions of ADR 1.1.3.6 (transport without labelling requirement,
insofar as no other hazardous goods are on or in the vehicle).
The other requirements of the GGVSEB (Hazardous Goods
Regulations for Road, Rail and Inland Navigation) and the ADR
(European Agreement on the International Transportation of
Dangerous Goods by Road) must also be satisfied. Delivery is
made in certified hazardous goods packaging.
The lithium-ion batteries have been successfully subjected to the
UN 38.3 Transport Test (UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III,
subsection 38.3), and have passed this test. The storage cabinet
is packed separately from the battery modules.
