In this era of rapid technological advancement, electronic products have become an indispensable part of our lives. Whether it is a smartphone, tablet, or various portable devices, they are inseparable from the support of batteries. However, when we need to send these battery-containing products overseas, we often encounter many questions and confusion. Today, let’s take an in-depth look at the types of batteries that can be sent overseas, as well as 10 common types of lithium batteries, to help you make a wise choice in cross-border logistics.
Dry cells (primary cells) are non-rechargeable batteries. Common dry batteries include alkaline batteries and carbon-zinc batteries. Dry batteries do not contain flammable substances and are relatively low risk.
Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most common rechargeable battery types today. They are widely used in electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and digital cameras. Lithium-ion batteries can be sent overseas via Fuuffy by express delivery such as UPS, EconomiQ, and FedEx Ground.

Lithium metal batteries are another common battery type commonly used in small electronic devices such as watches and calculators. Lithium metal batteries have stricter shipping restrictions than lithium-ion batteries due to their higher energy density and greater potential risks.
| # | Type | Description |

| 1 | Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) | The most common rechargeable battery, high energy density, low self-discharge, suitable for smartphones and laptops. |
| 2 | Lithium polymer battery (LiPo) | Variation of lithium-ion batteries, available in various shapes for tablets and ultra-thin devices. |
| 3 | Lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) | High safety, long cycle life, low energy density, suitable for electric vehicles and solar energy storage. |
| 4 | Lithium cobalt oxygen battery (LiCoO2) | High energy density, low safety, mainly used in early electronic devices. |
| 5 | Lithium manganese oxygen battery (LiMn2O4) | Good safety, high power output, short cycle life, suitable for power tools and medical equipment. |
| 6 | Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxygen Battery (NMC) | Balanced energy density and cycle life, suitable for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. |
| 7 | Lithium titanate battery (LTO) | Ultra-fast charging speed, extremely long cycle life, low energy density, suitable for devices that require frequent charging and discharging. |
Hong Kong Post has strict regulations on sending batteries:
Understanding the different types of lithium batteries and their characteristics is critical to shipping battery-containing products safely and compliantly. Although Hong Kong Post has strict restrictions on the delivery of electronic products, through the Fuuffy international express price platform, you can find more reliable options, such as UPS services, allowing you to safely send electronic products containing batteries overseas. If you have any questions about sending electronic products, please contact Fuuffy customer service for inquiries.
