I see that lithium batteries (of what appears to be all kinds) can't be sent via the post. 

 

Many phones today don't allow the battery to be removed. How do you send the phone? 

 

Ignore the rule and send it anyway? 

 

Or something else? 

 

I've sold a phone on TradeMe and now have to send it and I don't want any issues. 

 

Thanks for any useful suggestions.

Woah, back up the incorrect information pony.  You're allowed to send them.

 

Why don't you read what NZ Post state?

 

 

 

In all other cases, a maximum of two Lithium-ion batteries per parcel is allowed*, providing the special packaging requirements detailed below are met.
* Prohibited when using Bulk Mail, FastPost, ParcelPost Fast, BoxLink or ParcelPost PO Box Priority services.

 

Special packaging requirements for sending Lithium-ion (including Lithium-ion polymer) batteries:

 

  • A maximum of 2 batteries, or 4 cells (single cell batteries), maybe contained in equipment per parcel.
  • Each cell or battery must be under a certain power capacity rating:
  • Each Lithium-ion cell - maximum 20 Watt-hours.
  • Each Lithium-ion battery - maximum 100 Watt-hours.
    (Batteries for most consumer devices are likely to be under this limit eg. mobile phones, laptops, tablet computers, cameras etc. The Wh rating will be printed on the battery or may be stated in the device manual).
  • The device must be switched off and packaged so that it can not move around or be accidentally activated during transport.
  • The device with battery must be in strong external packaging to withstand a 1.2m drop.
