2 weeks ago a package with 24 of those boxes arrived at me, from china
<saper>
well, lion batteries can be transported under certain conditions

needs to dig out his copy of IATA 54 DGR
<DocScrutinizer05>
obviously I didn't meet those
<DocScrutinizer05>
saper: much appreciated
<saper>
of course they can't check every shipment, but at least few planes got diverted due to burning batteries on board, not to count Boeing 787 problems
<DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, I know

<DocScrutinizer05>
it's not entirely insane, however they should come up with clear regulations and recommendations what to do
<saper>
to handle certain dangerous goods you need to have trained personnel and learn how to prepare shipments
vakkov has joined #neo900
<DocScrutinizer05>
dangerous like a BL-5J battery
<saper>
I've only had a 9/10 class DGR training which is pretty easy but that's not enough to run shipments like this
<DocScrutinizer05>
whatever that means, it sounds insane
<saper>
well, you can bring BL-5J on board of the passenger aircraft, but you should not check them in the luggage. Actually LiOn regulations were changing every 6 months or so because it's hard to figure out what to do and not to apply some insane rules.
<DocScrutinizer05>
yep. And they changed some 8 weeks ago once again
<DocScrutinizer05>
I just wonder in which channel I discussed this
<saper>
even flowers are qualified as dangerous goods and there are limits how much can be loaded and how it should be prepared
<DocScrutinizer05>
errrrrr
<DocScrutinizer05>
wow
<DocScrutinizer05>
the dangerous man eating flowers from Mars

aaaah [Fri 04 March 2016] [08:51:02] <DocScrutinizer05> then the mere mass aka weight of the sand has to dissipate all the energy, without heating up next cell to >40°C
<DocScrutinizer05>
[2016-03-04 Fri 07:59:26] <wpwrak> nothing too nasty so far, just something to keep in mind
<DocScrutinizer05>
[2016-03-04 Fri 07:59:54] <wpwrak> i guess some day they'll get summarily banned, though

I guess I will ship this one without battery, and try to find out which darn form to fill to confirm the battery got discharged to 30% and whatnot

UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment.
<DocScrutinizer05>
here we are: >> They must be contained in a UN specification packaging as prescribed by the applicable packing instruction in the DGR. A completed package must display a Class 9 hazard label in addition to markings that identify the applicable proper shipping name and UN number. A shipper must document the shipment using a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods.<<
<DocScrutinizer05>
questions: what's >>a UN specification packaging as prescribed by the applicable packing instruction in the DGR<<, and >>Class 9 hazard label<<, and >>applicable proper shipping name<<
<DocScrutinizer05>
>> Lithium ion and lithium metal cells and batteries that meet the Watt-hour or lithium content limits set out in Section II of PI 965 and PI 968 respectively, but that exceed the weight or quantity limits set out in Table 956-II or Table 968-II are subject to all of the applicable requirements in the DGR except for the requirements for UN specification packagings.<<

headdesks
<ds2>
can't you just ship them by donkey caravan ? :D
<DocScrutinizer05>
I'm pretty sure I can ship them even by airmail, given I find 5 others to help me dig through 10 dozen documents in parallel
<ds2>
yes but the labeling, declarations, etc.... ARRRRRRRRG is the summary
<DocScrutinizer05>
The requirements applicable are as follows: ... (b) limitations on consolidations for lithium metal batteries (DGR 1.3.3 and 9.1.8);
<DocScrutinizer05>
(e) strong outer packagings (see Section IB of applicable packing instruction);
<ds2>
DocScrutinizer05: I wonder if it might be cheaper to get the cells made into "Li Ion flash lights" and ship that. IIRC - installed in products are treated totally differently
<DocScrutinizer05>
please see the photo, they returned the parcel incorrectly stating "battery *in* equipment"
<xman>
DocScrutinizer05: Hey Doc, how hard on a scale of 1-10 10 being hardest is soldering on a new micro usb port? It's weird I started having port issues lately even though I did a solder reenforcement.
<DocScrutinizer05>
hmm, depends on amount of damage already done, and the equipment you have access to
<DocScrutinizer05>
I'd say medium, so 5
<DocScrutinizer05>
given you have stuff like a hot air rework tool and solderpaste, flux, etc
<xman>
I don't have a heat station sadly. But a good iron, magnifying lamp a holder and other stuff. I'm solder small smt stuff, just not too often.
<DocScrutinizer05>
then you should be fine, maybe using some cheating like 5mm long thin wires
<DocScrutinizer05>
first of all you need to remove the old jack without damaging the PCB
<DocScrutinizer05>
which is possibly more involved than soldering a new one on
<xman>
cool, thx. "5mm long thin wires"?
<xman>
yeah I agree
<DocScrutinizer05>
to connect the jack's pins to the PCB pads
<xman>
I love the eevblog, btw :D
<xman>
I see that what I thought, but want to be sure
<DocScrutinizer05>
to unmount the old jack you prolly need a dremel with buzzsaw to cut the steel roof from the jack so you can get to the pins
<xman>
I actually got my hakko and meter after watching some of his reviews.
<DocScrutinizer05>
then cut the pins with scissors
<xman>
hmm, good idea. no going back from that ..lol
<DocScrutinizer05>
then unsolder the complete jack by heating up the jack's body until the solder joints melt
<DocScrutinizer05>
finally remove the 5 pins from the pads
<DocScrutinizer05>
that's what I would try
<DocScrutinizer05>
or rather, I prolly first would try hot air
<xman>
another great idea. Sadly no dremel right now.
<DocScrutinizer05>
first of all inspect the jack's contacts, if there's debris or dirt or whatever
<xman>
okay, I need to first make sure it's not something easier like dirt or corrosion on the port. I just realized that I've had my phone in too much moisture since it shows a little in some areas. Not back, but worth a clean up and check.
<xman>
haha you beat me too it
<xman>
okay will do when I have time, thank. Just need a second option of sorts. Will try it when I have time … which sadly not much right now.
<DocScrutinizer05>
anyway unsoldering the 5 electrical pins without tearing off the pads from PCB for sure is the most demanding part, closely followed by soldering them again
<xman>
yeah, I may try some meter testing to see if I can pin point the issue. Probably wont work but could be quicker that a full solder job.
<DocScrutinizer05>
plug in an old USB memstick or whatever, for weight, then heat the whole critter with hot air until it falls off the PCB by own weight
<DocScrutinizer05>
do not apply any force beyond those 10 to 20g from that USB dongle
<xman>
yeah, I should really get one for future projects.
<xman>
good point
<DocScrutinizer05>
Aten AT858D iirc
<xman>
If I plan on working on laptop, phone, other smallish device with double sided SMT then I guess it needed.
<DocScrutinizer05>
and I prefer it over those designs that have a rubber hose for the air coming from the station to the handset
<DocScrutinizer05>
even nice to heat your pizza in the box, simply by feeding 90°C hot air in through one of the holes the box usually has ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
keeps that piza warm for hours
<DocScrutinizer05>
removing sticky tape, shrinking shrinktube, whatnot else. Really a device you wonder how you had done without it once you get it
<DocScrutinizer05>
ok, 110°C, 90° is out of range
<xman>
pizza haha pizza heater. Thx for the recommending the model. can't do it now, but will make a note for the future.
<xman>
It's not too expensive either.
<DocScrutinizer05>
(pizza) works even for two when you set max airflow and adjust the two boxes carefuly so the holes touch
<DocScrutinizer05>
(not expensive) which been the whole point why I got it, to start with. Thanks to xes recommending it
<xman>
haha, you can add it to your kitchen tools
<wpwrak>
(avherald) the bureaucrats were quicker than i expected ;-)
<xman>
Funny for some reason I thought the air goes through the cable .. lol. It's amazing that they get that heat from suck a small area.
<wpwrak>
DocScrutinizer05: before going through all the countless forms and regulations (i mean, the people who make this stuff work full-time on it. just imagine how much regulatory text you could produce in that time.), perhaps a call to dhl, fedex, or ups may help. sometimes, what is completely impossible and entirely out of the question with one carrier ends up being disdainfully easy with another ...
<DocScrutinizer05>
[2016-05-14 Sat 01:23:08] <EvilDragon> It's the reason you cannot order any products in my shop that have batteries anymore with any other delivery service except for UPS.
<wpwrak>
i had one such case. don't remember what it was. i think i went to fedex first. they told me they can't do it but that i should ask at another courier service. i suspected they had just said that to make me go away, but it turned out to be good advice. and i think it was ups who then accepted the shipment without fuss.
