Kris - You don't state specifically that the batteries of interest are Li types, but you can refer to
hazmat.dot.gov/regs/notices/nprm/2002_11989.htm www.actec.dk/Lithium-Transport.pdf www.ntsb.gov/Recs/letters/1999/A99_85.pdf or look on manufacturer's' web sites. Many seem to have the kind of information you seek. I recall that the UN has a document on transportation of hazardous goods that has guidance for such shipments. Searching on the terms you're interested in in any web search engine will return a significant number of hits. Regards, Peter L.
