How to transport the battery safely?

The regulations prohibit the storage and transportation of smaller battery packs in metal boxes. If there is a risk of electrical short circuit, pack each battery separately in a plastic bag. Do not mix the battery with coins and house keys in your pocket.

Lithium batteries can only be transported after passing the UN 38.3 test requirements. Since 2008, lithium batteries cannot be put into checked baggage; They must be carried with you. Airline passengers are reminded how many batteries they can carry as portable devices and backup batteries. The quick use of fire extinguishers can extinguish the fire in the engine room during takeoff.

The lithium batteries transported can be divided into two types: rechargeable lithium ions mainly exist in mobile phones and laptops; The non rechargeable lithium metal, which is subject to additional restrictions due to its high lithium content, is used for sensing devices and some consumer grade AA, AAA and 9V formats. Airlines are allowed to carry these two types with them, whether installed in equipment or as a spare bag, as long as they do not exceed the following lithium or equivalent content limits:

Non rechargeable lithium batteries, also known as lithium metal batteries, are 2 grams each.

Each rechargeable lithium ion battery is 8g. This is equivalent to a 100Wh battery.

The sum of all lithium-ion batteries is 25 grams per passenger, totaling 300 watt hours.
