Battery Categories We Handle

To ensure compliance with Dangerous Goods regulations and airline acceptance rules, all shipments are categorized into four structured battery types:

1. Standard Battery

Standard commercial battery products widely used in consumer electronics:

• Mobile phones
• Tablets
• Portable devices
• Small rechargeable systems
• Everyday electronic equipment

These shipments follow standard DG handling procedures with controlled documentation.

---

2. High-Power Battery

High-energy battery systems used in professional and industrial applications:

• Telecom backup systems
• Industrial power tools
• Drone propulsion systems
• Advanced electronic devices
• Commercial mobility systems

These require reinforced packaging, UN classification accuracy, and airline pre-approval.

---

3. Oversized Battery

Large physical dimension energy systems commonly used in infrastructure and energy projects:

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

Oversized shipments require palletized handling, structural reinforcement, and coordinated airline acceptance.

---

4. Overweight Battery

Heavy industrial battery systems requiring specialized logistics handling:

• Forklift Battery
• Mining equipment power systems
• Large ESS Battery modules
• Industrial backup energy systems

These shipments require forklift handling capability, reinforced packaging, and dedicated cargo space allocation.

Why Express Couriers Are Limited for Djibouti Battery Shipping

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

• Limited DG acceptance for African destinations
• Strict routing restrictions for lithium cargo
• High rejection rates for industrial battery shipments
• Limited cargo capacity allocation
• High operational cost for commercial-scale logistics

Because of these constraints, express courier solutions are not ideal for structured battery logistics into Djibouti.
