In order to ensure transport security, lithium batteries and lithium metal batteries can only be shipped if they satisfy the following conditions set forth in the "Handling of Non-Hazardous Articles" of the relevant regulations.
Please be advised that no extra transport or other charges apply when sending lithium batteries.

• Lithium content as well as electric energy of the lithium batteries should not exceed the criteria below.

	Lithium Metal Batteries	Lithium Ion Batteries
Type(※1)	Lithium content(※2)	Electric energy(※3)
Single cell	1g	20Wh
Assembled battery (Battery pack)	2g	100Wh

※1	"Single cell" refers to a single battery and "assembled battery (battery pack)" refers to a combination of single cells.
※2	Lithium content (g) can be calculated by multiplying rated capacity (Ah) by 0.3(g/Ah). However, in general it is not displayed on the body of a lithium metal battery, so please contact the manufacturer of the battery to obtain the information.
※3	Electric energy is calculated by multiplying electric voltage (V) by rated capacity (Ah). Electric voltage and rated capacity are usually displayed on the body of a lithium ion battery.
