Lithium-ion battery transportation method, can lithium-ion batteries be shipped by air? As far as the transportation industry is concerned, lithium-ion batteries have always been classified as dangerous goods, not only by themselves but also by the equipment in which they are installed. For safety reasons, the transportation method of lithium-ion batteries is very strict. Lithium-ion battery transportation includes air transportation, water transportation, and land transportation. The most important discussion so far is the most commonly used transportation and ocean transportation.

Lithium-ion battery shipping method:
Since lithium is a metal that is particularly prone to chemical reactions, it is easy to extend and burn, and accidents also occur from time to time if lithium-ion batteries are assembled and transported improperly, and are prone to combustion and explosions. Accidents caused by non-standard behaviors in its packaging and transportation have been paid more and more attention. Many international agencies have promulgated multiple regulations, and various management agencies have become more and more strict, improving operational requirements, and constantly revising regulations and regulations. Lithium-ion battery transportation methods include air, water, and land transportation.

Lithium-ion battery shipping requirements:
The strict requirements for all lithium-ion battery products are to guard against the occurrence of internal or external short circuits in the battery during transportation, resulting in the occurrence of fire, so there are the following regulations.

1. The outer packaging should be labeled with 9 types of dangerous goods, and the product name, correct operation, information consultation telephone number, etc.

2. Lithium-ion batteries must pass a 1.2-meter drop packaging test before being transported.

3. Lithium-ion battery equipment needs to be fixed in the package, and beware of moving in the package.

4. The design of the outer packaging must be sturdy to ensure that it can be guarded against bursting under normal transportation, and must have a waterproof function.

5. The weight of a single package depends on the means of transportation.

Can lithium-ion batteries be shipped by air?
Once the lithium-ion battery is short-circuited and heated, a chain reaction will occur, which will quickly spread to other lithium-ion batteries, causing other lithium-ion batteries to be heated, and then the overheated lithium-ion battery will continue to release explosive flammable gases (important hydrogen ), resulting in an explosion that is extremely dangerous.

Lithium-ion batteries use active metal materials, and accidents such as high-temperature spontaneous combustion or short-circuit spontaneous combustion may occur during flight. It should be noted that spare lithium-ion batteries cannot be checked in, must be carried in hand luggage, and should be individually protected to prevent short circuits. Passengers can put spare batteries in the original packaging, or use other methods to insulate the electrodes. For example, tape the exposed electrodes, or place each cell in a separate plastic bag, protective case.

The above is about the transportation method of lithium-ion batteries and the requirements during transportation. I hope to is helpful. If you are interested in lithium-ion batteries, welcome to pay attention to our website.
