Looking for UN number a gel cell battery

[petem]

Ok I got in a argument with a road control officer about the fact that
bringing back dead battery from our customer to the company site (which is
in another city) could be considered as illegal transport of dangerous
garbage

(in fact he started it cause he could not find anything on the truck or on
my case after pulling me out for no reason..)
and since he didn't had the UN number of those battery he could not do a
thing..

now I was wondering if this number can be found somewhere and if any one
would know about this?

thanks

So... This "road control officer" was going to nail you for
transporting a "dead battery". What about your vehicle's battery??
It's far more dangerous than a sealed lead acid unit... As for the "UN"
number... It depends on what they decide to classify the battery as:

I would think since UPS ships them packaged properly (with plastic
protectors on the terminals and in a cardboard box with seperators or
individually packaged) as ordinary cargo, and they won't do same with an
automotive wet type battery you could conclude that its not an issue. I
would figure that the big boys had already hashed this out. The don't put
any special labelling on the boxes and they don't require overnight shipping
only as they do with truly hazardous cargo such as gun powder or shell case
primers.

Of course other countries regs will vary.

I told the little green man the same thing about my car battery being far
more dangerous then those battery and he told me that when my car battery
will be dead it will be treated as a dangerous item,you know people that
make laws are sometimes pretty incredible...

About the "officer", we have here in Quebec a kind of trucker police,were
they go after trucks and check for proper paper job and proper log book,this
was one of those bozo's that pulled my on the side,after the whole argument
(about half an hour) I asked him if the job was that boring...pulling Alarm
truck for no reason..and asked him he had problem with his alarm system at
home..(I was fishing to see if he needed a "free" job at home),and he told
me that he had an alarm system installed by ADT 2 years ago,and was furious
about them cause it was not working properly...

maybe I was the target of his frustration toward the alarm industry..

Good thing your van didn't have an "ADT" dealer label on it...

I'm not surprised.

With you in the truck, I agree.

(in fact he started it cause he could not find anything on the truck or on my case after pulling me out for no reason..)

Maybe he knew you.

and since he didn't had the UN number of those battery he could not do a thing.. now I was wondering if this number can be found somewhere and if any one would know about this?

Yes, it can be found.

thanks

You're most welcome.

Damn! it took you 2 days to react to this post!

I was sure you would have jump on it at the second it showed on your screen!

getting old? reflex are not as fast as they used to be?

No,I know!! you were gone to the drug store,to take your monthly bucket of
Viagra pills..But since this thing is killing you(the reason you were gone
from the group for a long period of time,was caused by a minor.. ;-( heart
attack...) its now taking you hours to come and go to the drug store..

all that to keep the 3rd world country woman of yours to stay with you..tsk
tsk..I hope that your will is done in such a way that she will not keep
everything and that your boy have there fair share...cause she will get
you!!

The asshole manages to get around to everybody sooner or later.
Too bad. Seemed like lots of new folks posting when he wasn't around.

Serves you right.

Perhaps he should have offered him some really good American made
condoms. ;-)

It can take upwards of two days to show up on Google. You'll notice
that's who he's been posting through for the last month or so.

 

[petem]

Are you telling me that he will see this post in only 2 days?

Humm... look like its the price to pay for giving away Username and Password
of web site..

maybe someday he will learn..to shut up and think a bit before posting stuff
like that..

But I really think that he will have another heart attack before it could
happen..

After all with only 3 neurons working after the lack of oxygen to the
brain,caused by the heart attack,I am pretty sure the one that do the whole
job,is damn tired..
(yeah I know I said 3..but that's cause,he is using the first 2 neuron to
prevent him of shitting every where )

now lets see how long will it take him to understand this ;-)
