RE: [MV] PRC 25 and 77 batteries

For those of you who dont know What Gene was referring to about the "UN 3090" number.  That is the globally known chemical Identification Number.  Or the UN ID.  3090 is, and I quote out of the Emergency Response Guide book (ERG), "lithium batteries, or lithium batteries -liquid or solid cathode".  This comes with a Guide Number of 138.  Cautions involving a 138 are: Water reactive,  emitting flammable gases.

Just a friendly explanation from your neighborhood HazMat guy..........now Serving in Iraq.
