[QUOTE="Floridacargocat, post: 275668, member: 6168"] Look at the upcoming challenges, when the car industry requires even more Li-ion batteries for its hybrids. Another definite challenge will be the transportation of fuel cell cartridges for computers/laptops and other devices. Regulations (and UN numbers) exist already (see CFR 49), but does a private consumer know about these regulations when he/she submits a package containing one of these new types of batteries to a UPS store for shipment? I doubt it. When I hear "battery" all my alarm bells are on and I want to know a "little bit" more. UPS and Fedex have sufficient "bad" experience with Li-batteries. Avoidable incident/accident? The NTSB has not taken a position on it. Maybe the insurer of UPS will have a very close look at certain shipping practices. [/QUOTE]
