More and more electricians are servicing and installing solar panels on houses. Lithium-ion batteries are used to store the power. Lithium batteries are UN3480 &#8211; this is a dangerous goods classification used throughout the world to denote the type of product on packaging and documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some dangerous goods can be carried as tools of trade, for example a person mowing lawns can carry petrol to refill the mower. However, there&#8217;s a limit of 50kg or 50 litres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are other rules around DGLQs (dangerous goods in limited quantities), and excepted quantities. However, lithium-ion batteries don&#8217;t fall into these categories.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/course\/dangerous-goods-d-endorsement\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"301\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/d-endorsement-online-course.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/d-endorsement-online-course.jpg 301w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/d-endorsement-online-course-185x300.jpg 185w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A typical job for solar panel installation could mean as much as 250kg of batteries; a single Tesla Powerwall battery can be 80kg. So, one battery would exceed the minimum of 50kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that electricians who carry these batteries must hold a D endorsement on their licence if they are transporting those goods on the road, even though the vast majority of the D endorsement course is not relevant for them. It&#8217;s an unfortunate fishhook in NZ transport legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can do a D endorsement online course (see the course link in this article); this is the most convenient and best-priced method of getting a D endorsement. Or, you can do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trdrivertraining.co.nz\/courses\/dangerous-goods-by-road\/\">D endorsement classroom course<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the answer to the question is that an electrician can carry up to 50kg of Li-ion batteries without a D endorsement, and more than 50kg with a D endorsement. The knowledge gained on a D endorsement course will enable the driver to react to emergency situations the correct way, and have the right documentation in the vehicle. Drivers caught without a D endorsement can expect to be fined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placarding<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"156\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dglq-rev-01d.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dglq-rev-01d.jpg 156w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dglq-rev-01d-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dglq-rev-01d-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dglq-rev-01d-84x84.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vehicle must be placarded with the appropriate dangerous goods sign for class 9 if carrying more than 50kg of batteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electricians may need a D endorsement if carrying batteries for solar power systems due to the weight of the batteries exceeding the limit under tools of the trade.
