Appendix 7. Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries
7.1 Restriction for Packing
260
7.1.1 Target Products
The following Mitsubishi NC products use lithium batteries. The UN Regulations classify the batteries as
dangerous goods (Class 9) or not dangerous goods according to the lithium content. If the batteries subjected
to hazardous materials are incorporated in a device and shipped, a dedicated packaging (UN packaging) is
not required. However, the item must be packed and shipped following the Packing Instruction 912 specified
in the IATA DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation) book.
Also, all lithium battery products incorporated in a machinery or device must be fixed securely in accordance
with the Packing Instruction 900 and shipped with protection in a way as to prevent damage or short-circuits.

(Note 1)
When CR23500SE-CJ5 is incorporated in the unit, this battery is not subject to the regulation.
(Note 2)
Dedicated packaging is required if the shipment exceeds 12 batteries/24 battery cells. Package the
batteries so that this limit is not exceeded.
(Note 3)
The battery units labelled as "FCUA-" instead of "MDS-A-" also use the same battery.
(Note 4)
Always use the cell battery (A6BAT) in combination with the dedicated case (MDS-BTCASE).
Maximum 8 (either 2, 4, 6 or 8) cell batteries (A6BAT) can be installed to the dedicated case
(MDS-BTCASE).
