Lead acid batteries can cause serious injury if not handled correctly. They are capable of delivering an electric charge at a very high rate. Gases released when batteries are charging – hydrogen (very flammable and easily ignited) and oxygen (supports combustion) – can result in an explosion. The acid used as an electrolyte in batteries is also very corrosive and can cause

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.
Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits. This would include, when practicable, packaging the battery in fully enclosed packaging made of non-conductive material, and ensuring terminals aren't exposed.
Much blame goes to faulty. Regulatory authorities recommend putting small batteries into clear plastic bags and placing them in a firm box with good padding. Limit the content per box. Lead Acid Figure 2. Class 8 label indicating corrosive substance Spillable lead acid batteries are regulated as dangerous goods under Class 8, controlled by UN 2794.
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.
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”.
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.
