LITHIUM BATTERY GUIDE FOR SHIPPERS

Lithium-Battery-Guide.pdf

This compliance resource was prepared to assist shippers to safely package
lithium cells and batteries for transport by all modes according to the latest
(May 11, 2020; HM-215O) regulatory requirements. This publication directs the
reader to scenario-based shipping guides that outline the applicable
requirements to ship packages of lithium cells and batteries in various
configurations. Each distinct shipping guide in this document refers to the
regulatory requirements for a specific lithium cell/battery type, configuration,
and size. In this way, shippers will easily find the applicable transport
provisions.

DOT is committed to ensuring that information is available in appropriate
alternative formats to meet the requirements of persons who have a disability.
