Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits. This would include, when practicable, packaging the battery in fully enclosed packaging made of non-conductive material, and ensuring terminals aren’t exposed.
Let’s take a look at the various domestic and international regulations. For the purpose of this blog, we will be examining Lead Acid Batteries classified as UN2794 which are Batteries, wet, filled with acid. Per the 49CFR 173.159, lead acid batteries must be packaged in a manner to prevent a dangerous evolution of heat and short circuits.
First things first, unless there is an exception of some sort, a class 8 corrosive label and a class 8 placard would be required when shipping lead acid batteries. But when it comes to packaging, there is a bit more that needs to be discussed. Let’s take a look at the various domestic and international regulations.
The container you use must be marked with a Class 9 label with contrasting colors and a height of 6mm. Lead acid batteries are commonly used in automobiles, toys, wheelchairs, scooters, and generators. Spent lead acid batteries are hazardous waste and, in most states, must be recycled.
If you are shipping domestically within Canada, we would look at Packing Instruction 801 in the TP14850. Here it says that the lead acid batteries may be handled, offered for transport, or transported in a non-UN Standardized container if the dangerous goods are placed in a rigid container, wooden slatted crate, or on a pallet.
UN specification packaging such as 4G fiberboard boxes, various types of drums, and wooden boxes are all compliant to ship lead acid batteries per the 49CFR. If you are shipping by air, a leakproof liner is also a requirement as well.

Lead Acid Battery Packaging – Last Revised 01/18/16 Page 2 Lead Acid Battery Packaging 3. Make the first layer of batteries as level and as close together as possible. If some of the batteries are shorter, they should be placed in the center of the layer. Batteries that are relatively taller should be saved and
General advantages and disadvantages of lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries are known for their long service life. For example, a lead-acid battery used as a storage battery can last between 5 and 15 years, depending on its quality and usage. They are usually inexpensive to purchase. At the same time, they are extremely durable, reliable ...

The lead acid battery uses lead as the anode and lead dioxide as the cathode, with an acid electrolyte. The following half-cell reactions take place inside the cell during discharge: At the anode: Pb + HSO 4 – → PbSO 4 + H + + 2e – At the cathode: PbO 2 + 3H + + HSO 4 – + 2e – → PbSO 4 + 2H 2 O. Overall: Pb + PbO 2 +2H 2 SO 4 → ...
