2.5.1 Transportation of new and used lithium-ion batteries

The transport of lithium-ion batteries is subject to conditions that are listed in the regulations for dangerous
goods for the individual modes of transport. The packaging for transport and shipping must be in
compliance with the respective current regulations; such as IATA (air), IMDG code (maritime traffic), ADR
(road traffic in Europe).
The customer is responsible for informing himself about the developments of the respective regulations
and laws. This may vary from country to country. Countries that are not bound by the ADR (European
road traffic), IATA (International Air Transport) or IMDG (maritime traffic) may have their own
requirements.
Lithium-ion batteries are, for all modes of transport, subject to the regulations for dangerous goods
applicable for the respective mode of transport. These are to be complied with by all parties involved in
the transport, including packers, shippers and consignors. All parties involved in the transport must have
completed the training and earned proof of the training required for the respective mode of transport prior
to participating in transport.
If possible, keep the original packaging.

Classification:
The lithium-ion batteries correspond to a type that was tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests
and Criteria, sub-section 38.3.
For the air transport of lithium-ion batteries, a maximum charge state of 30% has been required since
April 1st, 2016.
Lithium-ion batteries SRB5106 are assigned Class 9 in all dangerous goods regulations and may be
transported in compliance with the regulations specified under number UN3480. Lithium-ion batteries
SRB5106 have a rated energy of more than 100 Wh, a mass of more than 12 kg and, thus, are NOT
subject to special regulations SV188 (ADR, IMDG) and P965 part IB and part II.
Training:
Persons who are involved with the transport of dangerous goods must be trained in the applicable
requirements regarding dangerous goods (details available in the UN regulations).
Handling and battery packaging:
The packaging and labelling of the lithium-ion batteries must be designed and executed in accordance
with the UN regulations for the given mode of transport. Responsibility for compliance with the legal
regulations lies with the packer and shipper.
If ads-tec Energy GmbH is involved with handling and packaging on an advisory level, then handling and
packaging must only be performed in accordance with the instructions of ads-tec Energy GmbH. If
packaging and part numbers of the packaging components are specified therein, only these are to be
used. Information on the handling and shipment of lithium-ion batteries is only valid and applicable for
lithium batteries that the manufacturer or shipper did NOT find to be faulty or damaged due to reasons of
safety.
Not only is compliance with the packaging materials specified there required but also all information on
preparing the goods before packing, for packing the goods in the inner and outer packaging, for fastening
and for securing within the packaging, for closing the packaging and for labelling.
Used lithium-ion batteries are subject to these regulations as well. For intact and undamaged used lithium-
ion batteries, the regulations for new batteries can generally be applied.
