    Lithium Battery shipping...

    WHat have folks found is the easiest way? I know essentially USPS won't do it, but reading up looks like UPS\Fedex may. I know lots of folks are experienced with this, but couldn't find a posting and what to be armed to ask the right questions. Getting close to having enough for a shipment.

    Are you talking about lithium or lithium-ion?

    How much do you have or will you have when you are ready? Some people will ship LTL loads becuase its safer and the hauler takes responsiblity.

    Yeah I would fill up a large flatrate box and mail them off. Unless your talking 200 pounds or more then I think I would box and pallet them up and send them freight.
