On behalf of EnerSys, I hereby certify that all EnerSys ODYSSEY series batteries conform to the Non-spillable battery requirements as established in the 49^th Title of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR), revised 10/1/07, section 173.159 (d).

In addition, I further certify that all Odyssey series batteries conform to International Air Transport Association (IATA), 49th Edition, Packing Instruction 806 including Special Provision A67 and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods code (IMDG) 2006 Edition, including Special Provision 238, which classifies them as non-regulated goods.
