Lithium Battery Carriage

 The abundant stored energy that makes lithium batteries practical also makes them dangerous when not carried properly. There are limits to the lithium batteries you can carry on board an aircraft.

Lithium batteries are two general types: Lithium Ion (Rechargeable) and Lithium Metal (Non-reachargeable). The terminals on spare batteries must be protected to prevent short circuiting. Methods include taping the terminals, putting batteries individually into plastic bags or using the original battery packaging.

Note: All Equipments in the checked baggage must be securely turned OFF
