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.
You cannot send loose spare lithium metal batteries by air freight. Sending lithium-ion batteries by air freight is similar to the rules you must follow when sending lithium batteries by sea freight. You can choose to send them inside their respective devices, or you can send them separately in a container with a hard case.
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.
There are different limitations and requirements when the lithium batteries are transported by air as cargo or carried by passengers. However limitations primarily depend on: the lithium metal content in grams (g) for lithium metal (non-rechargeable) batteries.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
To keep this critical technology moving through global supply chains, shippers must understand how to safely ship lithium-ion batteries by air.
