Regulations for shipping lithium batteries by air are in place to protect everyone who would come in contact with a lithium battery shipment while it is being transported as air cargo; with training being required for everyone in this supply chain, to protect the aircraft, and the people in the aircraft, that is carrying the batteries.
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.
As part of our commitment to compliance, MANLY Battery ensures all our lithium batteries are ready for safe air transport under these updated rules. (To view the original lithium battery air transport regulations) 1. New UN Numbers and Packaging Guidelines for Sodium-ion Batteries
Mirror road regulations. Not all battery types can be shipped by air. For example, lithium-ion batteries over a specific Watt-hour rating must be shipped by sea or road. Also, some airlines may have carrier-specific rules more stringent than IATA’s baseline.
