If the parcel contains batteries or equipment with built-in batteries (e.g. electric scooters, electric bicycles, laptops, cell phones), the following steps should be taken to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition:
-
- the battery is uncharged or charged at a low capacity of less than 30%;
- the battery is undamaged;
- the battery is not in contact with other batteries, conductive surfaces or metal objects during transportation;
- use airtight, non-conductive packaging (e.g. plastic bags) and ensure that exposed terminals or connectors are protected with non-conductive caps or tape or similar means;
- secure switches to prevent accidental switching on;
- do not use soft-sided packaging (e.g. envelopes);
- packaging should be done in a way that can withstand mechanical shock to avoid damage during transportation or handling;
- apply the label specific to the type of battery contained (e.g. lithium-ion);
- apply a label clearly marked “ONU-UN 3480” for packages containing batteries only OR a label clearly marked “ONU-UN 3481” for packages containing equipment with built-in batteries.
In the event of improper packaging and/or if the shipment was not properly labeled and the battery spontaneously ignited, the sender will be liable for all damages caused, such as: damage/destruction of its own property; compensation owed by Sameday Courier to customers whose property was damaged/destroyed; compensation owed by Sameday Courier to injured or deceased persons; damage to Sameday Courier equipment, facilities or buildings.
