Spare Lithium Batteries Banned in Checked Baggage

As of yesterday, the Department of Transportation no longer allows air travelers to pack spare lithium batteries in checked baggage. According to the AP, the move was made because “fire-protection systems in the cargo hold of passenger planes can’t put out fires sparked in lithium batteries.” Passengers will, however, be allowed to carry two spare batteries—packed separately, though—as carry ons, and continue to use laptops and other devices with batteries stored within.
