A 30 percent or less state of charge has been in place for lithium batteries shipped on their own but has never been a requirement when with equipment.<\/p>\n<p>That is about to change.<\/p>\n<p>Starting January 2026, lithium batteries packed with equipment Must follow the less than 30 percent state of charge requirements. Lithium batteries contained in equipment SHOULD follow the same requirement.<\/p>\n<p><em>Remember, MUST is a mandatory requirement, and SHOULD is a recommended requirement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Although the requirement is not mandatory until January 2026, it is recommended for January 2025. It is expected that carriers will chime in with operator variations as well.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended that you start planning now, as this is expected to significantly impact supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>Also, expect a new requirement for non-specification packaging to meet a 3.0-meter stack test. This requirement for non-specification packaging is for packaging that is used to ship lithium-ion batteries packed with or contained in equipment is a direct result of the fire at the Hong Kong airport in 2021 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theloadstar.com\/hong-kong-air-cargo-ban-on-vivo-phones-after-pallets-catch-fire-at-airport\/\">https:\/\/theloadstar.com\/hong-kong-air-cargo-ban-on-vivo-phones-after-pallets-catch-fire-at-airport\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the UN Working Group on Lithium Battery classification looks at a new classification system. Some of the criteria include propagation, flame, off-gas, and high temperature. Based on the criteria, more than 32 UN numbers could be added. This is still in the discussion stages, so stay tuned for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have questions about shipping lithium batteries by air?
