Prerequisite • Cells must meet the General Requirements Specific Requirements • Each battery incorporates a safety venting device or is designed to preclude a violent rupture under normal conditions of carriage; • Each battery is equipped with an effective means of preventing external short circuits • Each battery containing cells or series of cells connected in parallel must be equipped with an effective means, as necessary, to prevent dangerous reverse current flow (e.g. diodes, fuses). Transport mode ADR IMDG IATA Waste batteries and batteries being shipped for recycling or disposal are p ohibited from air transport unless approved by the appropriate national authority of the State of Origin and the State of the Operator.
