Dear Ms. Germano:
This is in response to your letter and telephone conversation with Helen Engrum of my staff concerning requirements for shipping a battery charger under the Hazardous Materials Regulation (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). I apologize for the delay in responding and hope it has not caused any inconvenience.
A battery charger device containing a battery described as "Batteries, wet, filled with acid, 8, UN 2794, PG III" is subject to the requirements specified in 49 CFR 173.159. The packaging must be marked "Batteries, wet filled with acid, UN 2794," a CORROSIVE label must be applied, and a shipping paper and emergency response information must be provided. However, you may not be subject to the requirements of the HMR if you ship your battery charger under the provisions in § 173.159(e).
I hope this information is helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Regulations Development
