F. Packing and Transporting
The normal packing for shipment of Saft Ni-Cd batteries is with fiberboard or injected
foam packing enclosed in fiberboard or wooden outer containers. For overseas
shipments, wrapping in sealed plastic is recommended. Precautions must be taken to
keep batteries upright while in transit. All markings and documentation should
conform to current IATA regulations (UN2795 or UN2800 as applicable) governing
the shipment of vented Ni-Cd batteries.
