i can see how that would be something people would be sensitive about.
Well, remember awhile back i wrote a long crazy thing about battery types and why you needed to buy NICAD batteries and not the new Lithium whatever batteries?
No? yeah, I guess it was a really long boring one for everyone but me...
I should give you a link right here so you could go back, but you wouldnt, because you dont care do you?
nope, didnt think so,
ANYWAY
well here is a interesting thing about the battery debate,
li-ion-batteries-hazmat
I know, you wont click on that and read it either will you,
OK Fine, I'll you the cliffs notes version
right now USPS (snail mail) has stopped carrying things with lithium batteries (like IPADs, Kindles, Tools, etc)
no big deal right? You will just ship your tools and gadgets via UPS or Fedex right?
Well it looks like as of Jan 1 2013, everything with a Lithium battery over 2.7W (cell phones and up) will require a huge HAZMAT sticker on it for it to be shipped anywhere, via anyone.
That will be great right?
Honey look! your new cell phone is here!
