Group, With all the recent issues regarding battery explosions, overheating, etc., are there any recent changes with battery safety for ITE products? In particular, we are shipping a NiMH battery in a Listed OEM ITE product. The listing entity is not quite our favorite one and has made significant mistakes on previous product certifications. We are curious about: * Requirements for shipping this type of battery worldwide * Disclosure of the battery and type of battery either on the product and/or on the product packaging * Shipping or storing the battery at high altitudes ( air freight ) or at high temperatures * The need for the use of a power on symbol that indicates battery power is on when the main AC power is disconnected. * Additional / new rules - regulations due to the recent laptop battery issues. Any info ( fact or speculation ) is appreciated ! Cheers, Christine
