Technical FAQs 4

How do I transport lithium-ion batteries?

Just make sure they have a hazmat contract or a pre-approval for your specific type of lithium batteries and follow the UN/IATA/ICAO/Dangerous Goods regulations. Since 2016, the transport of lithium-ion batteries aboard passenger aircraft in bulk shipments has been prohibited so you’ll have to find the relevant carrier.

Are lithium batteries safe to transport in 2025?

Transporting lithium batteries safely has become a global priority. You must understand the regulations governing this process in 2025 to prevent risks and ensure compliance. Over 40 air transport incidents involving lithium batteries have occurred since 1991, with 21 on passenger aircraft.

What are the risks of transporting lithium batteries by road?

Chemical Leaks: Potential exposure to hazardous materials if the battery casing is compromised. Transporting lithium batteries by road is governed by several regulatory frameworks designed to mitigate these risks. The primary regulations include:

Can you transport lithium-ion batteries on a plane?

Since 2016, the transport of lithium-ion batteries aboard passenger aircraft in bulk shipments has been prohibited so you’ll have to find the relevant carrier. This prohibition is not applicable to batteries packed with, or contained in equipment.
