20. DOT Special Provisions 188 &189
188 Exceptions for Small Quantities
Li-ion cells -1.5g ELC (approx. equivalent ~ 20 Wh)
ELC (Equivalent lithium content ) means, for a lithium-ion cell, the product of the rated capacity, in ampere-hours, of a lithium-ion cell times 0.3, with the result expressed in grams. The equivalent lithium content of a battery equals the sum of the grams of equivalent lithium content contained in the component cells of the battery.
The calculation used to determine lithium content is:
Ah per cell x 0.3 gm x number of cells
• It requires about 0.3 grams of lithium metal to produce 1 ampere hour of power.
Example, if the battery you wish to ship is rated at 5,300 mAh per cell and contains 8 cells:
• Divide 5,300 mAh by 1,000 to get the rating in ampere hours:
5,300 mAh ÷ 1,000 = 5.3 Ah
• Multiply the Ah by 0.3 gm to determine the amount of lithium in each cell:
5.3 x 0.3 gm = 1.59 grams of lithium in each cell
Multiply the amount of lithium in each cell by the number of cells in each battery:
1.59 grams/cell x 8 = grams of lithium in the battery
189 Exceptions to Medium Lithium Cells & Batteries

21. DOT Special Provisions for Air A54 & A55

A Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods is not required for cells ≤20 Wh or batteries ≤ 100Wh .
The words “Lithium ion batteries”, “not restricted” and “PI 965” must be included in the Additional Handling Information on the air waybill, when an air waybill is used.
Standard format with Red hash marks on opposite sides contains certification statement
Min 2 copies,
- FedEx requires 3 with Nature & Quantity section typewritten

102. Completing the Declaration Form
Scenario 1
Let’s ship 4 Lithium ion batteries UN3480 (512 Wh) packed individually in UN tested 4G fiberboard boxes. Net weight of each battery is 7 kg.
Packaging? What is the maximum quantity per approved package allowed?
Passenger or Cargo Aircraft Only?
7 kg
7 kg
7 kg
7 kg
The calculation used to determine watt hours is:
Volts x ampere hour (Ah) = watt hours
Example, if the battery you wish to ship is rated at 3.7 volts and mAh per cell:
Since many batteries have a low ampere hour rating, they are rated in milliamperes per hour (mAh), one thousandth of an ampere hour (Ah).
• Since a milliampere hour is one thousandth of an ampere hour, divide 42,000 mAh by 1,000 to get ampere hours (Ah).
42,000 mAh ÷ 1,000 = 42 ampere hours
To determine the watt hours in this battery, multiply volts by 42 ampere hours:
3.7 V x 42 Ah = 155 Wh
