Technical FAQs 4

What types of batteries can be transported by air?

You will encounter two main types when transporting lithium batteries by air: lithium ion batteries and lithium metal batteries. Lithium ion batteries, often used in consumer electronics like laptops and smartphones, are rechargeable and have a typical energy density of 160–270Wh/kg for NMC Lithium battery and 180–230Wh/kg for LCO Lithium battery.

Can lithium batteries be transported by air?

Use cargo aircraft for standalone lithium batteries and never ship damaged or recalled batteries to avoid penalties and safety hazards. You will encounter two main types when transporting lithium batteries by air: lithium ion batteries and lithium metal batteries.

Are lithium batteries safe in air cargo?

Failure to comply may result in shipment rejection or legal action. These regulations help you safely ship lithium batteries and reduce fire risks in air cargo. Always use UN 38.3 certified lithium batteries and follow IATA packaging and labeling rules to ensure safe and legal air shipment.

How to safely transport lithium batteries?

Selecting suitable packaging, and then packing the batteries safely, is a key component to safely transporting lithium batteries. For larger batteries, the packaging may need to UN specifications. What type packaging you need is not a “one size fits all” answer.
