jaapv Posted January 7, 2024 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2024 The only requirements are to transport them in the carry-on luggage and to keep them in separate little plastic bags or the original boxes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping Li-ion is practically impossible. Will Leica stop using LI-ION battery please? No. US DOT publishes and continuously updates recommendations on shipping and testing LiB. EU and Asia have their own regulation. In my experience, all large US distributors strictly adhere to the UN38 recommendations. https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/sites/phmsa.dot.gov/files/2021-09/Lithium-Battery-Guide.pdf https://www.rrc-ps.com/fileadmin/Dokumente/Shipment/Shipping_Guidelines_Lithium_Ion_Batteries_EN.pdf There are various types of LiB: LFP is less susceptible to thermal runaway than NMC. Lot of research right now in solid state batteries, non-flammable electrolytes, self-healing separators, thermal management, improved manufacturing processes and advanced testing methodologies. For consumers/end-users, as long as you stick with reputable manufacturers/distribution channels, LiBs are very safe. A few years ago the published failure rate of a LiB cell was around one in a million, today this is significantly better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
