Each cell contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack. Due to lithium content, the battery pack is considered a hazardous material or dangerous good by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The batteries are shipped separately from the transmitter and will arrive at your location in a box marked and labeled as shown. | |
