Each person is limited to a maximum of 20 spare batteries; however, the operator may approve the carriage of more than 20 spare batteries. In addition, lithium batteries are subject to the following conditions: a) each installed or spare battery must not exceed: • for lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries, a lithium content of not more than 2 g; or • for lithium ion batteries, a watt-hour rating of not more than 100 Wh. b) batteries and cells must be of a type that meets the requirements of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3; c) each person is limited to a maximum of 15 PED (portable electronic devices) containing lithium batteries; however, the operator may approve the carriage of more than 15 PED; d) articles containing lithium metal or lithium ion cells or batteries, the primary purpose of which is to provide power to another device, e.g. power banks, are permitted in carry-on baggage only. These articles must be individually protected to prevent short circuits by placement in the original retail packaging or by otherwise insulating terminals, e.g. by taping over exposed terminals or placing each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch; e) electronic cigarettes lighters powered by lithium batteries are permitted in carry-on baggage only and the following conditions must also be met: i. only lighters with a safety cap or means of protection against unintentional activation are permitted on one’s person; ii. recharging of these devices and/or batteries on board the aircraft is not permitted, and measures must be taken to prevent accidental activation. f) baggage with installed lithium batteries, with a lithium metal content exceeding 0,3 g or a Watt-hour rating exceeding 2,7 Wh: i. if the baggage is to be checked in, the lithium battery must be removed from the baggage and the lithium battery must be carried in the cabin; or ii. the baggage must be carried in the cabin. iii. baggage where the lithium battery cannot be removed is forbidden for carriage.
