Transportation
 
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can 
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently 
come in contact with conductive materials. When 
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery 
terminals are protected and well insulated from 
materials that could contact them and cause a short 
circuit. NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in 
checkedbaggage.
STANLEYFATMAX batteries comply with all applicable shipping 
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which 
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous 
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous 
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods 
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning 
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). 
Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous 
Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a STANLEYFATMAX battery pack 
will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 
9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a 
lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt 
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 
9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked 
on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, 
STANLEYFATMAX does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion 
battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of 
tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted 
if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 
Whr.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted 
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult 
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and 
documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is 
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time 
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or 
implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its 
activities comply with the applicable regulations.
Storage Recommendations
1.  The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away 
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum 
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room 
temperature when not in use.
2.  For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged 
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for 
optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted 
of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before 
use.
