Flying with Lithium

First, Happy New Year.

Second, the TSA has adopted new rules, effective yesterday, limiting your options for traveling with spare lithium batteries on commercial airlines.

Anyone who carries extra lithium batteries for a laptop, cell phone, camera, etc., would be wise to read the new regulations before his or her next flight. In a nutshell, you may stow extras only in your carry-on bag, not in checked luggage.

See the new regulations explained at SafeTravel.dot.gov.
