For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, toolboxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools, etc. · Transporting the DeWALT FLEXVOLTTM battery. The DeWALT FLEXVOLTTM battery has two modes: Use and Transport. Use mode: The FLEXVOLTTM battery can operate as a 20V battery in a DeWALT 20V tool and a
60V battery in a DeWALT 60V tool. The Renegade Volt ES 200i can utilise only 20V of the DeWALT FLEXVOLTTM batteries. Transport mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLTTM battery, the battery is in transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping. When in transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (refer to following image). For example, the transport Wh rating might indicate 3 x 36 Wh, meaning three batteries of 36 Wh each. The use Wh rating might indicate 108 Wh (one battery implied).
NOTE! Make sure that the protective covers are not disposed of after transportation.
