The standard package is intended for apparently intact, non-damaged used lithium batteries and battery-powered equipment being sent for recycling.
Damaged, swollen, leaking, vented, burnt, crushed, punctured, unusually hot, smoking, hissing or otherwise defective batteries must not be placed in the standard package.
Use only the approved Batteryhold carton, fibreglass bag and specified packaging configuration.
Battery contents should not exceed 20 kg and the completed package must not exceed 23 kg gross mass.
The consignor remains responsible for correct classification, packing, marking and labelling, documentation and compliance with applicable transport requirements.
