This document provides a safety data sheet for lead-acid batteries, which are classified as wet electric storage batteries. The document contains the following key information: 1) The batteries contain inorganic lead, sulfuric acid electrolyte, and other materials such as polypropylene and polystyrene case materials. Lead, sulfuric acid, and acid mist are listed as health hazards. 2)
Approximately 97% of lead-acid batteries are recycled, making them the most recycled consumer product in the world. However, proper management practices are essential to prevent accidents and mitigate pollution. Firstly, proper storage is crucial. Lead-acid batteries should be stored upright in a cool, dry area.

Lead-acid batteries can be dangerous if not handled properly. They can leak toxic lead and acid, which contaminate soil and groundwater. This exposure can harm human health and wildlife. Furthermore, improper disposal is illegal in many areas. Always follow safety guidelines for handling and disposing of these batteries to avoid risks.
The Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery is one of many types of lead-acid batteries. In a VRLA battery the hydrogen and oxygen produced in the cells largely recombine back into water. In this way there is minimal leakage, though some electrolyte still escapes if the recombination cannot keep up with gas evolution.

However, there is a specific derogation under Special Provision 598 of the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (page 610) which allows lead acid batteries to be moved WITHOUT ADR regardless of quantity if they fulfil certain conditions. Likewise, if they DO NOT fulfil these conditions, then they MUST be moved under ADR
When batteries are damaged, you may need to re-classify them. Also, it''s possible that a damaged battery is no longer a dangerous goods. For example, a lead acid battery (UN2794) may no longer be regulated if all the acid has
Lead acid batteries that conform to Special Provision A67 may be shipped singly as long as the weight is less than 1.5Kg. The datasheet below gives the exact rules.
We hereby certify that all AGM (sealed lead acid) batteries and GEL type batteries supplied by MANBAT Ltd. conform to UN2800, Class 8" wet non-spillable electrical storage".

If your battery is not a Non-Spillable battery please do not try and ship it undeclared. Not only is it incredibly hazardous to us employees, the consequences for shipping undeclared dangerous goods are severe.
Let's take a look at the various domestic and international regulations. For the purpose of this blog, we will be examining Lead Acid Batteries classified as UN2794 which are Batteries, wet, filled with acid. Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits.
Most Sealed Lead Acid batteries using Gel or Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) technology is classed as non-spillable while even a 'sealed' standard lead acid battery with liquid electrolyte is spillable.
However, there is a specific derogation under Special Provision 598 of the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (page 610) which allows lead acid batteries to be moved WITHOUT ADR regardless of quantity if they fulfil certain conditions.
The transportation of lead acid batteries by road, sea and air is heavily regulated in most countries. Lead acid is defined by United Nations numbers as either: The definition of 'non-spillable' is important. A battery that is sealed is not necessarily non-spillable.
If you are shipping domestically within Canada, we would look at Packing Instruction 801 in the TP14850. Here it says that the lead acid batteries may be handled, offered for transport, or transported in a non-UN Standardized container if the dangerous goods are placed in a rigid container, wooden slatted crate, or on a pallet.
Check with your carrier for specific regulations. Just because your lead acid battery won't do what you want it to do like start and engine does not mean that it is completely dead. Shorting out the terminals could still cause over-heating, an explosion or a fire.
