RE: Lithium battery coin cell shipping restrictions

Here it is, http://www.tadiranbatteries.de/eng/downloads/. As you will see, it
is the German website that has the information, but don't worry, it is a
multilingual website.
 
Be careful, because the regulations changed effective Jan 1st, so you may
still see some incorrect information from some sources. The main difference
seems to be a different treatment for Lithium-Ion batteries compared to
Lithium Metal batteries. A copy of the IATA Regulations is well worth the
investment and you can get them in either hard copy or on CD-ROM; not a great
deal of money.

Neil, 

Do you have a link you could share for Tadiran? I looked at their US website
and couldn't find the info you mention.

For a coin cell, you are typically talking fractions of a gram, not grams. For
shipping purposes you can ship cells/batteries equivalent to 3 or 4 AA size
cells/batteries. Individual batteries only become a problem at C size and
above. 
Some of the best information that I have found is on the Tadiran Batteries
website; they seem to have explained all the international shipping
regulations in simple terms with data for all cell/battery sizes.

Happy new year to all! 
  
DOT 49 CFR Parts 171, 172, 173, and 175 concerning the shipment of lithium
batteries is in effect now.  Not being a battery or shipping expert, I’m
having a little trouble defining exactly the scope and definition.  My
interpretation has been that these batteries are not within the scope of this
requirement based on reading Part 171, but customers are asking additional
questions based on vague information from shipping companies’ web sites so
I’m looking for further clarification. 
  
Are the coin cells that are typically used on computer motherboards for the
real time clock in scope?  I’ve looked at a couple of battery manufacturers
web sites trying to find out how many grams of lithium are in the typical 2032
battery but have not had much luck.
