ARE YOU A “MOBILE” TECHNICIAN?

Transport of Spare Lithium – ion Batteries

The power and energy of Li-ion batteries (generally referred to as Lithium batteries or Lithium cells) is well known. Accidental shorting of charged Lithium batteries poses a hazard of injury from explosion and/or fire.

There are strict restrictions against air transport of charged Lithium batteries. However it is sometimes overlooked that ground transport of charged Lithium batteries can also be hazardous. It is very handy and useful to carry an extra, a “spare”, charged Lithium battery when traveling by truck or car to a job where a battery powered tool is essential.

* If the charged Lithium battery is properly and fully engaged with a compatible cordless power tool, the battery terminals are protected from accidental shorting by adjacent metal tools etc.

* But, if the charged Lithium battery is not properly engaged with a tool it can be accidentally shorted and cause a fire and/or explosion.  

Be safe – whenever transporting a spare charged Lithium battery that is not engaged in a tool, do not lay it loose on a passenger seat or on the floor or truck bed:

  • pack it, alone, in a dry wooden or cardboard box, or
  • pack it, alone, in a heavy plastic bag or equivalent.
