Lithium Ion Batteries (rechargeable) - under 101Wh in Equipment
These batteries are always used in small electronic equipment/devices eg, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, game consoles, power tools, model aircraft, CPAP, Oxygen Concentrators etc. We are brought as carry-on or checked baggage with concrete requirements as follows:
- equipment containing batteries must have the ON/OFF switch protected to prevent accidental activation when packed in checked baggage
- all spare batteries must travel as carry-on baggage only
Important note:
Devices containing lithium ion batteries over 160Wh are not permitted as checked baggage or hand baggage and must be carried as freight.
NOTE: Watt hours (Wh) are determined by multiplying the voltage (V) by the amp hours (Ah). ie. 12V x 5Ah = 60Wh
To request an airline approval, email [email protected].
Lithium Ion Batteries (rechargeable) - 101Wh-160Wh in Equipment
These batteries are usually for commercial cameras, commercial remote control aircraft etc. These batteries are brought as carry-on or checked baggage with concrete requirements as follows:
- equipment containing batteries must have the ON/OFF switch protected to prevent accidental activation when packed in checked baggage
- no more than two spare batteries with the terminals protected are permitted in carry-on baggage only
Important note:
Devices containing lithium ion batteries over 160Wh are not allowed as passenger baggage and must be transported as freight.
Watt hours (Wh) are determined by multiplying the voltage (V) by the amp hours (Ah). ie. 12V x 5Ah = 60Wh.
