Encourage consumers to ask questions about the policies and practices your company has in place to ensure the safe handling, storage, and disposal of Li Batts by you as a retailer and your staff. Be prepared to explain how you approach:
- Lithium Battery Safety Training
- Battery Inspection and Testing
- Appropriate Battery Chargers for Private Use
- Safe Charging Stations for Public Use (if applicable)
- Battery Capacity Disclosure at Point of Sale
- Battery Disposal and Recycling
- Transportation Guidelines – no Li Batt of any capacity over 100Wh/4Ah should be transported as anything other than Dangerous Goods; other traditional batteries – e.g. spillable, sealed lead acid (SLA), absorbent glass matt (AGM), or gel – may be shipped as non-Dangerous Goods provided they are undamaged, clean, and have their terminals protected; always check with the battery manufacturer for recommended transport modes
- Storage and Shelf Life
- Battery Safety Information
- Recall Management – Product Registrations and Staying Informed
- Incident Reporting and Investigation
