You mentioned Lithium Batteries, but wouldn't those be classed under Corrosive due to the acid in the batteries?

Hi Jon-Great question! Unlike some other batteries, lithium batteries do not contain acid. They contain lithium ions suspended in an electrolyte solution (typically a lithium/salt solution). The ions move between an anode and cathode to charge and/or power your device, vehicle, etc. @JonFromWA On the other hand: Lead acid batteries (like most car batteries) ARE classified as Class 8, CORROSIVE in transportation. See the entry "UN 2794, Batteries, wet, filled with acid, 8" as an example. Thank you for checking out the video!
