2Hazard information

Gallagher Virtual Fencing neckband model eShepherd eS1 contain a photovoltaic solar panel and a lithium iron-phosphate battery (LFP).

Solar panels are not hazardous in normal use.

LFP batteries are not hazardous in normal use. LFP batteries are classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods, Miscellaneous dangerous substances, and articles. The battery has passed the test items of UN Model Regulations, Manual of Test and Criteria Section 38.3.

LFP battery inside the neckband is not user replaceable. The LFP battery must be replaced by a trained professional using a Gallagher approved LFP battery. Return neckband to a Gallagher Authorised Service Centre for battery replacement.

3Composition and information on ingredients

For detailed information refer to the attached battery safety datasheet. Battery safety datasheet ↓

4First-aid measures

The neckband and battery are not hazardous under normal conditions. But if neckband is damaged, then leaking of electrolyte inside the battery can occur.

Caution: Avoid contact and inhalation of the electrolyte contained inside the battery.

5Fire-fighting measures

Hazard: Burning plastic and battery may produce toxic and corrosive gases.

Fire Extinguisher: Small Fire; Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. Large Fire; Water spray, fog, or regular foam. A Lith-Ex Aerosol extinguisher is recommended.

Protection for fire fighters: Use filter mask or isolated breathing apparatus and wear clothes which can defend from fire in the upwind direction.

7Handling and storage

Handling

• Keep away from fire. Do not throw into fire.
• Handle with care.
• Do not disassemble the neckband.

Storage

Keep away from fire and heating sources. The neckband should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location (temperature: –20°C to 25°C, humidity 45% to 85%).

Charge the neckband once every 3 months by leaving it outside for 3 or more days.

Charge the neckband for 3 or more days before and after storage.

8Exposure controls and personal protection

9Physical and chemical properties

For detailed information refer to the attached battery safety datasheet. Battery safety datasheet ↓

10Stability and reactivity

Conditions to avoid for LFP batteries: Heat above 90°C or incinerate. Deform, mutilate, crush, pierce, and disassemble.

11Toxicological information

For further information refer to the attached battery safety datasheet. Battery safety datasheet ↓

12Ecological information

When properly used or disposed, the Li-Ion batteries do not present environmental hazard.

For further information refer to the attached battery safety datasheet. Battery safety datasheet ↓

13Disposal considerations

Dispose in accordance with applicable regulations which vary from country to country.

Lithium-Ion batteries should have their terminals insulated, discharged completely (to 0.0V) and be preferably wrapped in plastic bags prior to disposal.

Incineration: Incineration should never be performed by battery users but eventually by trained professionals in authorized facilities with proper gas and fumes treatment.

For further information refer to the attached battery safety datasheet. Battery safety datasheet ↓

14Transport information

In the case of transportation, avoid exposure to high temperature and prevent the formation of any condensation.

Prevent falling, dropping and breakage.

Prevent collapse of cargo piles and water damage.

The shipping and display carton must be handled carefully.

The transport of products containing LFP batteries is subject to international regulation which can differ if the products are transported by air, sea, or road. There are a range of fines for companies who do not comply with these regulations.

The LFP battery contained in the eShepherd neckband complies with the United Nations Model of Regulations, section 2.9.4. As recommended by section 2.9.4 (g), a test summary is attached as specified in the Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, sub-section 38.3.

The below Lithium Battery Handling Label is required for all packages being sent via either air, road, or ocean transport. UN3481 must be minimum 110mm in height and 120mm in width.

Transport by Air

The LFP battery contained inside the eShepherd neckband is offered under Packing Instruction: Section II of PI967: lithium-ion batteries contained in equipment.

Maximum Number of neckbands per package: 2 (1 battery per neckband).

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (Section 38.3). A Test Summary is attached as per the recommendations of section 38.3.

Transport by Sea

The LFP battery contained inside the eShepherd neckband complies with International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code (2025 Edition) under Special Provision 188.

According to Special Provision 188, the neckband is not restricted to the IMDG code.

LFP Battery Wh Rating: 38.4Wh.

15Regulatory information

The cells used in the LFP batteries were tested to the following standards:

• IEC62133-2: Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications
• UL1642: Standard for Lithium Batteries.

eShepherd has been tested to selective clauses of IEC60335-2-76 edition 3.0: Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-76: Particular requirements for electric fence energizers.
