As used above and elsewhere in these Regulations, "lithium content" means the mass of lithium in the anode of a
lithium metal or lithium alloy cell, except in the case of a lithium-ion cell the "equivalent lithium content" in grams is
calculated to be 0.3 times the rated capacity in ampere-hours.
RENATA's lithium cells and batteries do meet the above mentioned provisions.
They can be described as "Partly Regulated" in the transport documents.
XIV.II Provisions for shipments by air into, out of, or within the U.S. (pursuant to 49 CFR)
In addition to the provisions mentioned under XIV.I for shipments into, out of, or within the US the following provisions
of the 49 CFR apply:
Pursuant to Special Provision A 100 of the 49 CFR primary (non-rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries are
forbidden for transport on passenger carrying aircraft. To avoid these cells and batteries being loaded on board of
