New TSA rules for Lithium-ion batteries


Heads up if you fly with extra laptop, camera, or other Li-ion battery packs… I often check my extra battery packs for my DSLR and camcorder in other luggage so this would have caught me by surprise…

————-

Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) will no longer allow loose lithium batteries in checked baggage. These batteries may continue to be packed in carry-on baggage.
