Our Goods Transporter is asking us to provide the full classification that applies to your Trucharge™ Lithium Ion Batteries since they are saying that very strict Federal Laws apply if these batteries are defined as hazardous material. Jessica, N.C, USA |

The capacity of the Lithium-Ion that we use in Trucharge is 2Ah which represents an equivalent Lithium content of 0.6 Gram. This allows them to be defined as non-hazadous and so they are not restricted for shipping purposes either by ground or by air. The full classification for transportation is : DOT (per CFR 172.101) and IATA/ICAO Proper Shipping Name: Lithium Batteries UN Number: UN 3090 (UN 3091 for Lithium Batteries in Equipment) Hazard Classification: Class 9 (Misc.) Packing Group: II Labels Required: MISCELLANEOUS HAZARD CLASS 9 Other: CARGO AIRCRAFT ONLY Non-Hazardous Batteries: If the batteries contain less than 1.0 grams of lithium or lithium alloy per battery pack they are not restricted for shipping purposes by ground or air. If single cells contain less than 0.5 grams of lithium or lithium alloy, they are not restricted for shipping by ground or air.
