With the pace of people's life getting faster and faster, lithium batteries are widely used in our daily life today. Do you know the rules of carrying lithium batteries by plane?
In order to ensure flight safety and avoid unsafe events caused by passengers carrying lithium batteries (lithium metal batteries are easy to ignite when the temperature inside the aircraft is high), in August 2008, the Civil Aviation Administration of China made clear provisions for passengers carrying lithium batteries on board:
First, passengers are not allowed to carry lithium batteries in checked baggage.
Second, passengers can carry lithium-ion battery cells or consumer electronic devices (watches, calculators, cameras, mobile phones, laptops, camcorders, etc.) for personal use. The backup battery must be individually protected against short circuit and can only be carried in hand luggage. In addition, each spare battery shall not exceed the following quantities: for lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries, the lithium content shall not exceed 2 grams; For lithium-ion batteries, the total lithium content of the same mass shall not exceed 8 grams.
Third, passengers can carry lithium-ion batteries with a total lithium content of more than 8g but not more than 25g. If a single battery can be protected from short circuit, it can be carried in hand luggage. Spare batteries are limited to 2 per person.
Fourth, other types of standby dry batteries, such as nickel-metal hydride batteries, can also be carried with you if short circuit protection measures are taken.
Fifthly, lithium-ion batteries with total lithium content of more than 25 grams of equivalent quality shall be shipped in the form of goods in accordance with the standard of the Specification for Air Transport of Lithium Batteries (MH/T1020-2007).
