12.1.7 Battery (MR-BAT, A6BAT)
POINT
The revision (Edition 44) of the Dangerous Goods Rule of the
International Air Transport Association (IATA) went into effect on
January 1, 2003 and was enforced immediately. In this rule, "provisions of
the lithium and lithium ion batteries" were revised to tighten the
restrictions on the air transportation of batteries. However, since this
battery is non-dangerous goods (non-Class 9), air transportation of 24 or
less batteries is outside the range of the restrictions. Air transportation of
more than 24 batteries requires packing compliant with the Packing
Standard 903. When a self-certificate is necessary for battery safety tests,
contact our branch or representative. For more information, consult our
branch or representative. (As of November, 2003).
Use the battery to build an absolute position detection system.
