S. Can I ship recalled, damaged or non-conforming cells or batteries?
S--在IATA DGR 规定中,是否可以运输召回的,损坏的或者不合格的电池芯或电池?
Lithium batteries, identified by the manufacturer as being defective for safety reasons, or that have been damaged, that have the potential of producing a dangerous evolution of heat, fire or short circuit are forbidden for transport (e.g. those being returned to the manufacturer for safety reasons). The U.S. DOT has developed guidance for consumers and manufacturers for shipping recalled batteries:

Batteries which have some other defective feature (e.g., LEDs not showing charge, incorrect model number on label, or batteries not holding enough charge) could still be shipped by air. Also, laptops being returned may not have a defective battery, it may not meet the needs of the customer, may be defective itself (but not the battery), etc. In these situations air transport would be permitted. The battery or equipment manufacturer should be contacted to determine the appropriate shipping method.
因为安全原因被制造商确认为有缺陷或已被损坏的锂电池,有可能会演变发生发热、燃烧和短路的潜在危险,禁止运输。美国运输部对消费者和厂家运输召回的锂电池编写了指导文件,参见:

有其他问题(如:LED 不显示电量、标签上型号错误、电池电量不足)的电池可以进行航空运输。另外,有些被召回的笔记本电脑并非是由于其安装了有缺陷的电池,而可能是电脑自身设计有缺陷。在这种情况下可以使用航空进行运输。应联络电池或设备厂商确定其正确的运输方法。
