Air travel with lith. batteries


This is an old release, but recent for me knowing.

Effective January 1, 2008, you may not pack spare lithium batteries in your checked airline baggage.

1. Effective January 1, 2008, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) implemented a new rule for airline passengers traveling with spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries as follows:
1. Passengers are prohibited from carrying spare lithium batteries in checked baggage. In carry-on baggage, passengers may still carry any number of smaller lithium ion batteries (those with 8 grams or less of equivalent lithium content) and smaller lithium ion metal batteries (those with up to 2 grams of lithium), provided that they are protected from short circuit (see below).
2. For complete details, please go to safetravel.dot.gov/whats_new_batteries.html


You can go to Canon's site for a list of batteries that you can take.
