New Airline Rules for Carrying Spare Batteries
If you bought an extra battery for your cell phone, take note: New rules from the Transportation and Security Administration that take effect on January 1 ban travelers from carrying loose lithium batteries in checked baggage, CNET News reports.
Passengers are allowed to pack “two spare batteries in their carry-on bag, as long as they’re in clear plastic baggies.”
This doesn’t apply to batteries that are already installed in gadgets, such as the one in your cell phone or laptop.
