We’ve found that FedEx provides the easiest path to ship batteries. Their website has a search tool to find FedEx locations that can accept batteries can be found good shipments, go to <https://www.fedex.com/locate> > More... > Dangerous Goods Shipping > and Search in your area.

Please consult local regulations.

If you’d like to pack the batteries yourself, guidelines can be found in the [UPS guide to safely packing batteries](https://www.ups.com/assets/resources/media/en_US/pack_ship_batteries.pdf).
