Prerequisite • Cells must meet the General Requirements of §173.185(a) in particular the test requirements Transport mode Road Marine Air Passenger Aircraft Cargo Exemption conditions 173.185(c) SP 188 PI 969 section II Batteries must be protected so as to prevent short circuits, including protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packaging that could lead to a short circuit. Batteries must be packed in inner packagings that completely enclose the battery. The inner packagings must be packed in strong outer packagings Package may not contain more batteries than the minimum number required to power the equipment plus two spares Packaging Drums, Jerricans, Boxes; not required UN approved packaging Use strong outer packaging, it must be capable of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test in any orientation without damage to cells contained therein, without shifting of the contents so as to allow cell to cell contact and without release of contents . Two possible solutions, lithium metal batteries must: • be placed in inner packagings that completely enclose the battery, then placed in a strong outer packaging; or • be placed in inner packagings that completely enclose the battery, then placed with equipment in a strong outer packaging The equipment must be secured against movement within the outer packaging. For each package of lithium metal batteries or the completed package a stacking test (3m height for 24 hours) is required.
