Section 13: Disposal Considerations; Section 14: Transport Information - Konsberg cNODE Micro Instruction Manual

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Adhere to applicable laws, regulations and guidelines when disposing of the batteries.
A lithium thionyl chloride battery does not contain any heavy metals, and is therefore not
regarded as special waste (it contains only biodegradable parts).
A used lithium battery can contain a significant amount of residual energy. It is the
danger of explosion that presents a problem when disposing of a battery. Used batteries
must therefore be handled with the same care as new ones.
Note
For safe disposal, contact the nearest local company that has been approved to collect
and dispose of lithium batteries.

SECTION 14: Transport information

Transportation of the cNODE Micro must take place with adherence to applicable laws,
regulations and guidelines; including those who address the transportation of dangerous
goods in all modes of transport. When battery and transponder are shipped separately,
the battery "must be shipped at a state of charge (SoC) not exceeding 30% of their rated
capacity" in order to be in compliance with IATA regulations.
The battery is certified according to UN 38.3.
• Shipment of transponder
Each cNODE Micro transponder is transported as a closed and sealed unit, and must
not be opened by unauthorized personnel.
The cNODE Micro transponder must be shipped in accordance with the prevailing
national regulations; UN 3481 PI 967 Section II, Miscellaneous (Lithium Ion
batteries included in equipment).
• Shipment of separate battery
If the battery is shipped separately, the prevailing national regulations that apply are:
UN 3480 PI 965 Section IB, Miscellaneous (Lithium Ion battery).
For all shipments – cNODE Micro and separate batteries –, use lithium battery handling
label as specified in the additional requirement of Section II of packing instructions
965, 966 and 967.
