I was told that pacemakers in bulk are considered 'hazardous cargo'. The energy delivery ability of their batteries is small, though - a few milliamps at most, purposely in case it goes wrong. Back some 30+ years ago, there were some plutonium powered pacemakers and thus the 'hazardous cargo' designation, even though such pacemakers haven't been made since the early 1980s.
