Group 08 / 16
Batteries and accumulators
We source batteries, accumulators and chargers for industrial, energy storage and consumer use according to chemistry, capacity and voltage ratings, and ship them to the destination country in compliance with dangerous goods regulations.
Overview
This group covers alkaline and zinc-carbon dry-cell batteries, primary lithium batteries, lead-acid (AGM, gel and flooded) batteries, lithium-ion and LiFePO4 cells and battery packs, forklift and traction batteries, storage batteries for UPS and solar power systems, and chargers. The main buyers in this group are retail and wholesale distributors, UPS and energy storage integrators, telecom infrastructure companies, forklift service providers and solar installation companies.
In sourcing, chemistry, nominal voltage (V), capacity (Ah or Wh), cycle life, discharge current and terminal type are matched to the buyer's application. The UN 3480 and UN 3481 classification for lithium products, UN 2794 for lead-acid batteries, the UN 38.3 test summary and the safety data sheet are checked with the carrier in advance. Packaging, labels and markings are prepared according to IMDG or IATA regulations, and state of charge and short-circuit protection are verified before loading. Shipment is made with the carrier's dangerous goods approval.

IMDG / IATA packing
Packaging type, hazard labels, UN markings and the lithium battery mark are checked according to IMDG or IATA regulations.
State of charge and short circuit
For lithium products, state of charge, terminal protection and short-circuit precautions are checked; lead-acid batteries are inspected for leakage.
Available documents
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- UN 38.3 test summary
- Safety data sheet (MSDS / SDS)
- Dangerous goods declaration (DGD)
Packaging and transport
Batteries are palletized in UN-approved packaging with separators and short-circuit protection; with carrier approval, they are shipped as dangerous goods by sea, road or air.
