Christine You should refer to the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, 51st edition dated January 2010, for answers to the above, as regulations relating to batteries did change with this edition.

In particular, we are shipping a NiMH battery in a Listed OEM ITE product. The listing entity is not quite our favorite one and has made significant mistakes on previous product certifications. We are curious about: * Requirements for shipping this type of battery worldwide * Disclosure of the battery and type of battery either on the product and/or on the product packaging * Shipping or storing the battery at high altitudes ( air freight ) or at high temperatures * The need for the use of a power on symbol that indicates battery power is on when the main AC power is disconnected. * Additional / new rules - regulations due to the recent laptop battery issues. Any info ( fact or speculation ) is appreciated ! Cheers, Christine - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
