Looking like there may be more issues with flying with Lithium Ion batts.

FWIW: if your job requires you to ship Li-Ion batteries you already have to have special training ..

... but the regulations are clear, 100Wh is the cut off capacity for hand carry on an aircraft.

That's actually rather misleading......If that was the case no RED batteries could be carried on a passenger airline.

I refer you to http://safetravel.dot.gov/larger_batt.html


Larger batteries 100-300w

You are allowed one larger lithium ion battery installed in a device, plus up to 2 spare larger lithium ion batteries.

Under no circumstances can lithium ion batteries go in checked luggage on a passenger plane.

Fair enough, 100Wh capacity is the cut off for unrestricted carry on on a passenger aircraft.

No Li-Ion batteries are allowed in checked luggage on a passenger aircraft.
