Battery Advisory by Jon D. Witmer Although accidents involving batteries and battery-powered electronic devices are few and far between, the Department of Transportation (DOT) recently issued an advisory about how to properly transport batteries on airlines. Working with the DOT on this issue is the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association (PRBA), a nonprofit trade organization whose members are rechargeable-battery manufacturers and consumer-products companies that use such batteries. George Kerchner, the executive director of PRBA, notes, “Spare batteries should be carried onboard, not placed in checked luggage. It’s also important that spare batteries have the correct packaging or insulation. Otherwise, they can contact other batteries or metals, increasing the risk of shortcircuiting. Most battery-transportation incidents could have been avoided had shippers or passengers followed the required regulations.” Kerchner points out that these guidelines fall under the DOT’s “hazardous materials regulations,” making them enforceable by agencies operating under the DOT’s umbrella, such as the Federal Aviation Administration. “Airline passengers are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate steps are taken to protect their batteries and battery-powered equipment,” he says. “There are significant civil penalties for failing to comply with the regulations. “PRBA members are committed to … educating consumers on the safe use and handling of these products, and working with U.S. and international transportation agencies and organizations to further these goals.” For more information, or to download the DOT advisory, visit www.prba.org. s 91
