6.2.4 Safety instructions and warnings on the transport and
dispatch of the battery
Lithium-ion cells are used in the A2B neodrives battery. Therefore,
relevant statutory provisions are applicable to the transport and
dispatch of the battery which have to be strictly complied with. For
instance, a defective battery pack must never be transported in
planes as a basic principle.
If your battery is defective, please take it to your specialist dealer
in person since dispatch of lithium-ion batteries by post or other
forwarders is stricly regulated. We recommend to contact your
specialist dealer also in this case.
Since the transport regulations may change every year, we strongly
recommend that you contact your travel operator, airline or shipping
company before going on a trip to obtain information on the current
applicable regulations. A defective battery must not be brought into
the plane or put in the luggage. If your battery is attached to the
Pedelec when transporting it, less strict transport regulations apply
pursuant to UN3171.
Keep the paperboard packaging of the battery back by all
means in case you need it for transport.
Discuss the transport with your specialist dealer before
dispatching the battery.
