terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting
batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry

and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
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

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

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.
