Battery Handling

Spare Allen-Bradley Parts
The procedures listed below must be followed to ensure proper battery operation
and reduce personnel hazards:
• Use battery only for intended operation.
• Do not ship or dispose of cells except according to recommended procedures.
• Do not ship on passenger aircraft.
Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could result or the cells
ATTENTION
could overheat causing burns.


Do not open, puncture, crush, or otherwise mutilate the
batteries. A possibility of an explosion exists and toxic, corrosive,
and flammable liquids would be exposed.
Do not incinerate or expose the batteries to high temperatures.
Do not attempt to solder batteries. An explosion could result.
Do not short positive and negative terminals together. Excessive
heat can build up and cause severe burns.

Storage

Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typically +20
° °
(+68 F to +77 F) with 40% to 60% humidity. Store the batteries and a copy of the
battery instruction sheet in the original container, away from flammable materials.

Transportation

One or Two Batteries - Each battery contains 0.23 grams of lithium. Therefore, up
to two batteries can be shipped together within the United States without
restriction. Regulations governing shipment to or within other countries may
differ.
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.
