Generally solid or dry batteries do not meet the definition of hazardous material. If you are not sure, contact the manufacturer or refer to the MSDS. However, batteries containing Potassium Hydroxide instead of a liquid electrolyte meet the definitions for Class 8 and should be described as “Batteries, Dry, Containing Potassium Hydroxide,” UN3028.
