I recently ordered several of these, and I also quite often order 
larger SLA batteries for UPS replacements.  They all arrive by UPS, 
USPS, or FedEx with no drama and no hazmat labels that I can 
see.  (But I don't think they are shipped by air, if someone is 
contemplating that.)

I concur, since "better is always better."  But it does appear that a 
399 can, without undue difficulty, meet the design specifications, at 
least if it is kept powered on.  I still think hysteresis is a 
significant worry if the off time extends to days, particularly if it 
is subjected to wide temperature changes during shipment.

Best regards,
