Let's take a look at the various domestic and international regulations. For the purpose of this blog, we will be examining Lead Acid Batteries classified as UN2794 which are Batteries, wet, filled with acid. Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits.
First things first, unless there is an exception of some sort, a class 8 corrosive label and a class 8 placard would be required when shipping lead acid batteries. But when it comes to packaging, there is a bit more that needs to be discussed. Let's take a look at the various domestic and international regulations.
If you are shipping domestically within Canada, we would look at Packing Instruction 801 in the TP14850. Here it says that the lead acid batteries may be handled, offered for transport, or transported in a non-UN Standardized container if the dangerous goods are placed in a rigid container, wooden slatted crate, or on a pallet.
Most Sealed Lead Acid batteries using Gel or Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) technology is classed as non-spillable while even a 'sealed' standard lead acid battery with liquid electrolyte is spillable.
Non-spillable lead acid batteries (those that use Gel or Absorbent Glass Matt technology) require the same packaging as those filled with acid with the following differences: No acid proof liner is required. The box must be clearly marked “Non-spillable battery”.
