The electrification of the global car parc is underway and batteries are a key enabler. Lead batteries are critical to accelerating the transition, nearly every electric vehicle requires a 12V battery, which typically is a lead battery. Lead batteries are also key to creating more – and more sustainable – EV charging stations.
Throughout 2024, EPA will host a series of working sessions across the battery life cycle to inform the development of voluntary guidelines for battery labeling. These labeling guidelines will be designed to improve battery collection by: Identifying battery collection locations and increasing accessibility to those locations.
10. How do you properly dispose of a lead-acid battery? Very carefully, as each contains about 18 lbs. of lead—which is poisonous all by its lonesome. Add to that a gallon or so of lead-contaminated sulfuric acid. Thus, in most states it''s illegal to
We hold immense expertise in packaging of all types of batteries which falls under Haz cargo Category with IIP / UN Certificate.

Any battery that has been damaged and has the potential to leak must first be placed in a container capable of holding its contents. Examples of damaged lead acid batteries
Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits. This would include, when practicable, packaging the battery in fully enclosed packaging made of non-conductive material, and ensuring terminals aren't exposed.
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.
UN specification packaging such as 4G fiberboard boxes, various types of drums, and wooden boxes are all compliant to ship lead acid batteries per the 49CFR. If you are shipping by air, a leakproof liner is also a requirement as well.
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.
Similarly, the IMDG code sets out similar requirements at Packing instruction P801 when you are shipping internationally by Sea. Using UN packaging would also be acceptable to ship lead acid batteries within Canada as well as by Sea internationally. If you are shipping internationally by air, we would look in IATA at Packing instruction 870.
Packaging is regulated by IATA Section 5, Packing Instruction 870 which, in addition to the above requirements, specifies that the battery must be contained within an “acid/alkali-proof liner of sufficient strength and adequately sealed to positively preclude leakage in the event of spillage.”
