Based upon the IATA Guidance Document for Transport of Lithium Metal and Lithium Ion

Batteries (Revised for the 2011 Regulations v2.0), the “Ion” battery is classified as a Class

9 – Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods – UN 3481 battery (when contained in the system or

packed with the system).

Photogenic®ION Pure Sine Wave Inverter Lithium Ion Battery Specifications

Class 9 – Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods – UN 3481

LiCoxNiyMnzO2 rechargeable lithium ion battery

14.8 Volts, 8.8 Amp hours, 130 Watt-hours, total 9.28 grams of metallic lithium.

The ION pure sine wave inverter and its contained battery can travel with the user as a carry-on baggage or as checked baggage. The system should be packaged for travel in a manner that prevents unintentional activation. Ensure that the main On/Off switch on the system front panel is powered down and pack the system in a padded bag to prevent it from being bumped and unintentionally turned on.

A spare battery (or batteries) for the ION pure sine wave inverter must travel with the user as carry-on baggage. In compliance with the IATA Dangerous Goods regulations, subparagraph 2.3.3.2, spare lithium ion batteries exceeding a watt-hour rating of 100Wh but not exceeding 160Wh may be carried as spare batteries in carry-on baggage. Al- though the document does not impose a limit on the number of lithium ion batteries that may be carried as spares within a passenger’s carry-on baggage, the IATA emphasizes that the number of spares must be “reasonable” in the context of the equipment used by the passenger and his or her itinerary. Packing instructions 966 state that the maximum number of batteries in each package must be the minimum number required to power the equipment, plus two spares. The IATA recommends that spare batteries be packed in a non-conductive material (such as a plastic bag), packed separately to prevent contact with other batteries, devices or conductive materials.
