Ecomed Sicherer Versand und Lagerung von Lithiumbatterien

Lithium-ion batteries and lithium metal batteries react with many substances, are prone to overheating, and can catch fire quickly. Therefore, lithium batteries are classified as hazardous materials and are subject to strict legal regulations during transport.

The book "Safe Shipping and Storage of Lithium Batteries" provides a clear overview based on the legal regulations ADR/RID (Road/Rail) and IATA-DGR (Air). It includes many examples and diagrams.

In general, for transport: Lithium cells/batteries may be shipped if they meet the requirements listed in the book according to 2.2.9.1.7 ADR/RID, 2.9.4 IMDG Code, or 3.9.2.6 IATA-DGR.

And what applies to storage? The answer is provided in the extra chapter "Storage."
