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 recommend air shipping lithium-ion
e
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 Whr.
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.

TRANSPORTING THE FLEXVOLT TM BATTERY
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
TM
D WALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the
e
FLEXVOLT battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product,
TM
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.
