New rules for Lithium batteries onboard on aeroplanes
|
You may pack two lithium batteries in carry-on baggage - see our spare battery tips and how-to sections to find out how to pack spare batteries safely! However, you may carry no more than two larger batteries, in the range of 100 - 300 watt hour rating. These include some extended life laptop computer batteries, such as the "universal" lithium ion battery. Examples of larger rechargeable lithium batteries (more than 8 but not more than 25 grams of equivalent lithium content.)

large camera batteries on board. You may not pack a spare lithium
battery in your checked baggage.
