In your letter, you describe a scenario where (1) the battery “cells” have\nindependent enclosures and terminals that are connected to other “cells” with cable leads, (2) no\nindividual “cell” exceeds the 882-pound net mass or 119-gallon volumetric capacity threshold,\nand (3) the “cells” are contained within an intermediate steel containment. Specifically, you ask\nwhether the mass and volumetric capacities of batteries should be assessed on an individual\n“cell” basis or as a combined unit when determining whether a packaging meets the definition of\na “bulk” or “non-bulk” packaging in § 171.8.\nBased on the information you provided in your scenario, the mass and capacity of the wet battery\n“cells” you described are not considered individual batteries when the battery “cells” are\nconnected with cable leads and function as a single battery. Determining whether the packaging\nmeets the definition of a bulk or non-bulk packaging will depend on the size and weight of the\nassembled battery.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nT.

Prior PHMSA\ninterpretation number 16-0081 indicates that electric storage batteries firmly\nsecured to pallets meet the definition of a \"package\" pursuant to § 173.159(d)(l) and\nthat if such package meets the definition of \"bulk packaging\" under§ 171.8 (i.e., has\na maximum net mass greater than 400 kg (882 lbs.) and a maximum capacity greater\nthan 450 L (119 gals) with no intermediate forms of containment), then the exterior\nof the transport vehicle must be marked with the UN identification number as\nrequired by § 172.331. A subsequent PHMSA interpretation (Ref. No. 17-0050)\nclarifies that to constitute \"bulk packaging,\" palletized electric batteries must exceed\nboth the 882-pound net mass and 119-volumetric capacity thresholds. Otherwise, the\npackages are considered non-bulk and the transport vehicles need not be marked with\nthe UN number.\nIn this case, our client transports industrial lead acid batteries, which consist of\nseveral independent battery \"cells\" connected together on individual terminals with\ncable leads and housed within a steel enclosure. These batteries come in various\nconfigurations and sizes, as depicted in the attached manufacturer specification sheet\n(Exhibit A). The proper shipping name for these batteries is UN 2794, Batteries, wet,\nfilled with acid, electric storage.\nIndianapolis • Chicago • Washington, D.C. • Los Angeles • Chattanooga• Detroit\nDallas/Fort Worth• Milwaukee• Philadelphia/Mt.

Depending on the particular configuration,\nthe net mass of a single steel enclosure and its battery \"cell\" contents may exceed 882\npounds, and the enclosure itself may have a volumetric capacity that exceeds 119\ngallons. However, in no event would the independent batteries within a steel\nenclosure exceed either of those two thresholds.\nRecognizing PHMSA's earlier guidance that \"the size of the battery determines\nwhether a package meeting the requirements of§ 173.159(d)(l) is considered bulk or\nnon-bulk\" (Ref. No. 16-0081), our question is whether the mass and volume capacities\nof the batteries described above should be assessed on an individual \"cell\" basis or as\na combined unit. It is our opinion that because (1) the cells are essentially\nindependent batteries (i.e., with independent enclosures and terminals) that are\nconnected to other cells with cable leads; (2) no individual cell exceeds the 882-pound\nnet mass or 119-gallon volumetric capacity threshold; and (3) the cells are contained\nwithin an intermediate steel containment, they are properly considered non-bulk\npackages and the transport vehicles need not display the UN number. However, we\nrespectfully request PHMSA's confirmation of the same.\nWe appreciate your attention to this matter. If you reqmre any additional\ninformation, please contact me.\nSincerely,\nTimothy W.

A tubular gauntlet, made of acid-\nresistant and current-permeable polyes-\nter material, is slid over the tubular spi-\nnes like fingers of a glove. The tubes are\nfilled with lead dioxide (active material).\nThe tubular plate is sealed with a plastic\nboot at the bottom. The advantage over\nflat plate batteries is that the tubular de-\nsign provides greater surface area of ac-\ntive material when compared to standard\nflat plate batteries.\nThe result is a higher usable capacity\nbattery than that of a standard flat plate\nbattery. This translates directly into grea-\nter productivity due to longer runtimes.\nThe number of tubes, the length and the\ndiameter varies depending on the type\nof battery. Battery cell dimensions are\nbased on the size of the tubular positive\nplate and the corresponding negative flat\nplate.

The flex\nconnector is designed to deliver higher\ncurrent with less internal resistance.\nThe maintenance-free flex connectors are\ndesigned to ensure full electric contact\nwith the respective positive and negative\nterminals through the use of fully insula-\nted bolts that have been treated with an\nindustrial thread-locking adhesive. The\nfully insulated cable design protects the\nflex connector from corrosion due to ex-\nposure to electrolyte and it protects from\naccidental shorts which lead to disasters\nresulting from careless laying of metal ob-\njects or tools on top of uncovered connec-\ntors. The flex connector also reduces tem-\nperature related expansion and excessive\nvibration during use on rough floors or in\nharsh operating conditions.\nThroughout the life of the battery, the\nflex connector will not tweak or place\npressure on the cell's positive and nega-\ntive bushings or posts. This eliminates\nany possible internal cell damage. The\nflex connector technology with bolt-on\ninter-cell connectors also ensures full\nand secure electrical contact with all\nconductive parts on top of the battery.\nPRODUCT FEATURES/ ADVANTAGES:\n► Optimal current transfer from cell to cell with no voltage drop\n► Improved high current carrying capability\n► Fully insulated cable connection (no additional inter-cell cover ne ded)\n► High flexibility\n► Corrosion resistant\n► Less internal resistance resulting in lower operating temperatures\n\n<<<PAGE 11>>>\n\n®\nTRIA1'HL_. ~ n TA-US AQUAsave\n►\nPRODUCT FEATURES\n► Robust tubular flooded Lead-Acid technology\n► Low-maintenance Lead-Acid technology with low\nantimony content in the lead alloy and greater\nhead space due to tubular design\n► Considerably reduced watering intervals\n(30-90 days) with optimized charge profile\n► The latest separator design delivers increased\nacid volumes and increases acid circulation\n► Increased cycle life\n► Fully insulated flex connectors and post bolts\n► Bolt-on termination cables can be easily replaced\n► Standardized rated capacities range\nfrom 180 to 2000 Ah\n► Cell and battery properties comply\nwith IEC 60254-2\n► Recyclable\nTechnical data -

When batteries\nare recharged, water is transformed into\nhydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. In\nbatteries with liquid electrolyte, this water\nconsumption must be replaced at regular\nintervals with deionized water. The replace-\nment water is extremely critical to pro-\nlonged battery life.\nTo ensure reliable battery operation, regu-\nlar care and maintenance is required. To\nhelp with this, TRIATHLON® offers a full\nline of accessories for your battery and\ncharging needs. Our goal is to help you\noptimally maintain and monitor your\nbatteries and chargers in order to prevent\nneedless failures and repairs.\n-\n-\n.\n..\n-\n-\n\n<<<PAGE 20>>>\n\nOPTIONS\nAQUAmatic 4.0 watering system\n► Reliable single point battery watering system.\nAQUAcontrol level sensor\n► Monitors and indicates the battery's electrolyte\nlevel.\nicon Battery Guard 4.0 battery controller\n► Monitors, records and controls battery and\ncharger conditions.\nAir electrolyte circulation\n► Air agitation mixes electrolyte during charge\nto prevent acid stratification.
