2.1.1.1.2 LEAD ACID BATTERIES – AUTOMOTIVE – NON SPILLABLE UN 2800 Applies to: Lead-acid automotive batteries – SLI batteries (Starting, lighting, ignition) – Non spillable UN No., Proper Shipping Name UN 2800, BATTERIES, WET, NON SPILLABLE Class 8 Packing Group not assigned Hazard Label • Labels must be in the form of a square set at an angle of 45° (diamond-shaped) with minimum dimensions of 100 mm by 100 mm; except for air transport mode, labels dimensions may be reduced not less then 30mm by 30mm on small packages. • They must have a line 5 mm inside the edge and running parallel with it. Specific Requirements Batteries can be considered as non-spillable provided that they are capable of withstanding the vibration and pressure differential tests given below, without leakage of battery fluid. Vibration test: The battery is rigidly clamped to the platform of a vibration machine and a simple harmonic motion having an amplitude of 0.8 mm (1.6 mm maximum total excursion) is applied. The frequency is varied at the rate of 1 Hz/min between the limits of 10 Hz and 55 Hz. The entire range of frequencies and return is traversed in 95 ± 5 minutes for each mounting position (direction of vibration) of the battery. The battery is tested in three mutually perpendicular positions (to include testing with fill openings and vents, if any, in an inverted position) for equal time periods. Pressure differential test: Following the vibration test, the battery is stored for six hours at 24 °C ± 4 °C while subjected to a pressure differential of at least 88 kPa. The battery is tested in three mutually perpendicular positions (to include testing with fill openings and vents, if any, in an inverted position) for at least six hours in each position. Important note: Non-spillable batteries meeting the requirements of this summary sheet are not subject to Dangerous Goods Regulations if, at a temperature of 55°C, the electrolyte will not flow from a ruptured or cracked case.
