Lithium-Ion batteries pose catastrophic risk when damaged, defective, or overheated, potentially leading to prolonged fire over 2,000° F. For this reason, Lithium-Ion batteries are considered hazardous materials by all national, state, local and international authorities; and, have stringent storage and transportation requirements.
The volatility of a Lithium-Ion battery is impacted by many variables, including battery age, battery damage, heat, percentage of charge, battery chemistry,quality.
Transport of Lithium-Ion batteries is strictly regulated by various domestic and international road, rail, and air authorities. Before shipping a Lithium-Ion battery, review the links in the Resource Center.
Although no packaging provides 100% guaranteed protection, the Zarges BatterySafe™ products provide a safe means of battery storage and transport when used properly. Zarges cases meet numerous US military specifications under MIL‑STD-810 and are internationally recognized under United Nations Packaging Group-1, the highest rated designation for hazardous
material packaging, as well as ATA 300 Category 1. Zarges BatterySafe™ products are suitable for transporting batteries and other hazardous goods within the guidelines of 49CFR and IMDG.
When using the Zarges BatterySafe:
- Do not use Zarges BatterySafe™ if lid cannot be latched securely, inner lining is damaged, battery fire has occurred.

- Do not exceed rated payload of case. Payload indicated in kilograms on the silver UN-Certification label on this case after the “X” or “Y”.
- Store the Zarges BatterySafe™ in cool dry location away from flammable materials or heat more than 50°C (120°F).
- Do not charge batteries in case.
- Transport of lithium-ion batteries on any passenger aircraft is strictly regulated by FAA and other domestic & international bodies. Read and follow federal, state, local and international regulations for safe transport of lithium-ion batteries by air, sea, rail, road.
