Can you ship batteries and power banks?

Sometimes — it depends on the chemistry, the capacity and the route, not on the product category. Lithium-ion cells installed in a device usually travel as UN3481 and are accepted on most air routes up to 100 Wh. Loose cells and power banks (UN3480) are treated as dangerous goods: many carriers refuse them entirely, and those that accept them require a UN38.3 test report and proper packaging. Lead-acid, nickel-metal-hydride and wet cells follow different rules again, and sea freight is often the only legal option for large volumes. Send us the product link and the battery specification. We will tell you in writing whether a route exists, what documentation is needed, and what it costs — before you buy.

• Installed cells up to 100 Wh usually fly
• Loose cells and power banks need UN38.3
• Sea freight is often the only option above that
