How do Canadian codes for waste lithium batteries differ?
Quebec examples put lithium batteries in E16. That category takes other battery types too, so the transport description still needs the real chemistry and form.
How should waste lithium batteries be described for collection in Canada?
The category doesn't set the UN number, packing or transport conditions. Keep the battery details for the shipment record.
