Battery Categories We Handle

To ensure compliance with airline and DG regulations, all shipments are classified into four structured battery types:

1. Standard Battery

Standard battery cargo typically includes widely used consumer and light commercial electronics:

• Mobile devices
• Tablets and laptops
• Portable electronics
• Small rechargeable systems
• General commercial electronics

These shipments follow standard DG handling procedures with controlled packaging and documentation.

---

2. High-Power Battery

High-output energy systems designed for industrial or advanced applications:

• Telecom backup systems
• Industrial tools and machinery
• Drone propulsion systems
• Commercial electronics power modules

These require strict DG classification, reinforced packaging, and airline pre-approval.

---

3. Oversized Battery

Large structural energy systems used in infrastructure and energy projects:

• Solar energy storage systems
• Modular ESS Battery systems
• Industrial backup power units
• Renewable energy integration systems

Oversized shipments require palletized handling, dimensional control, and coordinated airline acceptance.

---

4. Overweight Battery

Heavy-duty industrial energy units requiring specialized logistics handling:

• Forklift Battery systems
• Mining equipment power systems

Why Express Couriers Are Limited for Guinea-Bissau Battery Shipments

While DHL, UPS, and FedEx offer Dangerous Goods services, they face operational limitations when handling shipments into Guinea-Bissau:

• Limited DG acceptance for West African destinations
• Restricted routing options for lithium cargo
• High rejection rates for industrial battery shipments
• Limited cargo allocation capacity
• Complex customs clearance procedures

As a result, express courier services are not suitable for most structured battery logistics.
