\nHere are the rules as published on the DOT’s web site<\/a>:<\/i>
\n


\nEffective January 1, 2008, the following rules apply to the spare lithium batteries you carry with you in case the battery in a device runs low:
\n


\nSpare batteries are the batteries you carry separately from the devices they power. When batteries are installed in a device, they are not considered spare batteries.
\n


\nYou may not pack a spare lithium battery in your checked baggage
\nYou may bring spare lithium batteries with you in carry-on baggage \u2013 see our spare battery tips and how-to sections to find out how to pack spare batteries safely!
\n


\nEven though we recommend carrying your devices with you in carry-on baggage as well, if you must bring one in checked baggage, you may check it with the batteries installed.
\n


\nThe following quantity limits apply to both your spare and installed batteries. The limits are expressed in grams of \u201cequivalent lithium content.\u201d 8 grams of equivalent lithium content is approximately 100 watt-hours. 25 grams is approximately 300 watt-hours:
\n


\nUnder the new rules, you can bring batteries with up to 8-gram equivalent lithium content. All lithium ion batteries in cell phones are below 8 gram equivalent lithium content. Nearly all laptop computers also are below this quantity threshold.
\n


\nYou can also bring up to two spare batteries with an aggregate equivalent lithium content of up to 25 grams, in addition to any batteries that fall below the 8-gram threshold. Examples of two types of lithium ion batteries with equivalent lithium content over 8 grams but below 25 are shown below.
\nFor a lithium metal battery, whether installed in a device or carried as a spare, the limit on lithium content is 2 grams of lithium metal per battery.
\n


\nAlmost all consumer-type lithium metal batteries are below 2 grams of lithium metal. But if you are unsure, contact the manufacturer!
\n


\nExamples of extended-life rechargeable lithium batteries (more than 8 but not more than 25 grams of equivalent lithium content):
\n


\n130 watt-hour \u201cuniversal\u201d lithium ion battery
\n\t


\n160 watt-hour lithium ion battery for professional audio\/visual equipment
