Transport of used battery modules
When transporting used, intact and undamaged battery modules, the regulations for new bat-
teries can usually be applied. However, for the transport of used - but not damaged - batteries,
please also refer to the corresponding special regulations (636) or packing instructions (P903a and
P903b / ADR).
Special and packaging regulations
The battery modules have an energy content of less than 100 Wh, therefore simplifying special
provisions of the dangerous goods law can be applied:

ADR, RID: SP 188;
•
IMDG: SP 188;
•
IATA: PI 965, 966, 967, each section II

Used battery modules must be returned at the point of sale or in a special disposal system
(industry, trade). The return is free. The battery modules must not be disposed of with household
waste and must be collected separately from any further waste. The battery modules must not be
allowed to enter sewers or bodies of water or be buried in the ground. The used battery modules
must also be treated in accordance with section I (page 20) "Handling and storage instructions".
