How to ship mobile devices and/or lithium batteries
All Bell Mobility devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) use lithium batteries. Thus, special precautions must be taken when returning a mobile device and/or battery, especially if the battery is damaged. Depending on the device, the lithium battery is either removable or non-removable from the device.
In Canada, the shipping of lithium batteries is subject to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act, which is regulated by Transport Canada. Lithium batteries are used in many electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers, tablets, cameras, medical equipment and power tools, etc.
When you ship lithium batteries, including those contained in or packed with devices and equipment, you must meet shipping requirements and declare package contents to postal carriers, couriers or transport companies.
If you are returning a product with a lithium battery, you need to visually inspect it based on the below criteria to determine if the battery is damaged:
- broken (e.g., damaged or heavily deformed outer casing; melted wires)
- crack or rupture of the plastic
- leaking or venting (emits abnormal gas smell)
- any discoloration
- swelling (bulge or bump)
- unusual overheating (more than lukewarm even in off mode)
- recalled battery
- battery is inaccessible (damage to the electronic unit)
If you have a damaged battery without a device:
- Please recycle the damaged battery locally at a waste management site. Do not return the damaged battery to Bell.
If you have a damaged battery with a device:
- If you are returning a device with a damaged battery, request a damaged battery shipping kit by calling 1 866 310-BELL (2355).
- Once you receive the damaged battery shipping kit, follow the packaging instructions included in the kit.
- Attach the prepaid Purolator return waybill to the shipping box that is included in the kit.
- Fill out the Shipping Document (Bill of Lading) that is included in the kit. Without this form, your shipment will not be accepted by the courier.
