Notes on Transportation

This page summarizes important considerations for transporting the small all-solid-state SMD battery SoLiCell^®. It provides reference information necessary for the proper transportation of SoLiCell^®, including its relationship with applicable transportation laws and regulations.

Under transportation regulations, SoLiCell^® are classified as lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion cells and battery packs are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods under the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and are assigned UN numbers UN3480 or UN3481. When transporting lithium-ion cells or battery packs, all applicable requirements of the UN Recommendations, as well as those of relevant regulations, must be satisfied.

Transportation of SoLiCell^®

SoLiCell^® comply with the requirements of UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3. If documentation such as test reports or certificates is required for transportation, please contact our responsible department through your purchase channel. When customers perform packaging independently, please note that any testing and certification related to the packaging must be conducted by the customer. In addition, some countries, regions, or carriers may impose their own voluntary regulations; therefore, please confirm requirements with the carrier in advance.

Air Transportation

SoLiCell^® correspond to lithium-ion cells with a watt-hour rating of 20 Wh or less, or battery packs with a rating of 100 Wh or less. For transport of lithium-ion batteries by themselves (UN3480), air transportation is permitted without the use of Packing Group II packaging, provided that all requirements of IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA-DGR), Packing Instruction 965, Section IB are satisfied. For batteries shipped with equipment or contained in equipment (UN3481), transportation is permitted in accordance with Packing Instruction 966 or 967, provided that the relevant requirements are met. Please note that air transport of lithium-ion batteries by themselves (UN3480) is restricted to cargo aircraft only. For details on section classifications and transport conditions, refer to the latest edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA-DGR).

Sea Transportation

SoLiCell^® correspond to lithium-ion cells with a watt-hour rating of 20 Wh or less, or battery packs with a rating of 100 Wh or less. By satisfying all transport requirements specified in Special Provision 188 of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, sea transportation is permitted as excepted dangerous goods. Please refer to the latest edition of the IMDG Code for details.
