I always send batteries UPS ground. Just tell them to slap the extra sticker on it.

That’s weird. I’ve never been asked watt hours or anything like that. Just if my package contains lion batteries.

Shouldn’t really matter if its 10 or 100 if a single cell gets to the point of meltdown it’s catastrophic. Low quality Chinese batteries really give all batteries a bad rap.

Oh i know about catastrophic meltdowns. Im just hoping to find a solution besides being dishonest. Gonna try asking usps tomorrow

Yeah how much trouble would you get in for lying about Wh? Slap on the wrist and a fine? Jail time?

The guilty conscience of putting someone with a family and kids in danger just because you wanna ship a battery :thinking:

Don’t lie about the specs of what you’re shipping :+1:

You should only need to declare its lion and slap this sticker on it. Also needs to be ground only shipping. Not sure why they’re giving you such a hassle. I’ve sent batteries with UPS for years.
