Battery Categories We Handle

To ensure compliance with airline and maritime regulations, battery cargo is divided into four structured categories:

1. Standard Battery

Standard commercial battery products used in everyday applications:

• Mobile devices
• Portable electronics
• Small consumer equipment
• Entry-level industrial systems

These shipments follow standard DG procedures with controlled documentation requirements.

---

2. High-Power Battery

High-energy density battery systems used in professional environments:

• Telecom backup systems
• Industrial power tools
• Drone propulsion systems
• Advanced electronic equipment

These require enhanced packaging standards and strict UN classification compliance.

---

3. Oversized Battery

Large physical dimension energy systems used in infrastructure projects:

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

Oversized cargo requires special pallet planning and airline coordination.

---

4. Overweight Battery

Heavy industrial battery systems requiring specialized handling:

• Forklift Battery
• Mining equipment power systems
• Large ESS Battery modules

Why Express Couriers Are Not Suitable for Cape Verde Battery Shipping

Although DHL, UPS, and FedEx offer Dangerous Goods services, in practice:

• Limited DG acceptance on Africa-bound routes
• High rejection rates for lithium cargo
• Restricted airline capacity
• High cost for commercial shipments

As a result, express courier solutions are not ideal for structured battery logistics to Cape Verde.
