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 STANLEY battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9
Hazardous material. In general, the two instances that require
shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two STANLEY lithium-ion battery
packs when the package contains only battery packs (no
tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery with an
energy rating greater than 100 watt hours (Wh). All
lithium-ion batteries have the watt hour rating marked on
the pack.
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.
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.
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.

In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels
on the charger and the battery pack may show the following
pictographs:
