New Restrictions on Flying With Lithium Batteries
    #7822579 -

Flying well-equipped for business and pleasure gets a bit more complicated with new U.S. Department of Transportation rules that bar travelers from packing loose lithium batteries in checked luggage.

The move, which went into effect yesterday, is designed to help minimize the risk that batteries could overheat and catch fire on board, the agency's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration says.

The new rules say travelers can bring a laptop computer, digital camera, cellphone and other equipment on board or in checked luggage if their lithium batteries are installed in the items.

And passengers can bring spare batteries in carry-on luggage if they are stored in plastic bags or if they are in the original retail packaging. But travelers can bring only two such spare batteries, and each must be packed separately.

Additional points about lithium content:

Passengers can fly with lithium-ion batteries containing no more than the equivalent of eight grams of lithium content. All lithium-ion batteries in cellphones and almost all laptop-computer batteries meet this rule, the agency says.

As for spares, fliers can bring as many as two, but the batteries' total lithium content must be less than 25 grams.

And for lithium-metal batteries, whether installed in a device or carried as a spare, the maximum lithium content is two grams per battery. Almost all consumer-type lithium-metal batteries meet this rule, the agency says.
