Shipping lithium batteries?

What needs to happen if ship battery powered tools? Aren’t the batteries lithium? Any extra charge for they or can they ship normal?

You have to let them know and a proper decal (UPS, I’m not sure of the others) needs to be applied so they’re shipped ground.

I think this is right. I got one for a replacement in a Roomba and it was Lithium and shipping was free with prime. I think the issue is shipping air.

It’s what UPS told me when I shipped a failed Dewalt Li battery back.
