Summer Travel Tips: how to carry lithium batteries?

During the summer, the majority of passengers visiting friends and relatives, leisure and tourism can not help but bring electronic equipment containing lithium batteries, electronic equipment and more, but in flight, incorrect transport lithium serious consequences, and how to properly carry lithium but no How many people know.
The risk of lithium battery depends on its lithium content. Lithium belong to the case of wet dangerous of dangerous goods, water or moist air will release flammable gases liable to spontaneous combustion; solid-state lithium in the temperature exceeds the melting point of 180 ° C; in powder combustion in ambient temperature conditions; can lead to serious burns and corrosion. Need to pay attention to are: lithium battery once caught fire in flight, will give the aircraft and passenger safety of life which bring great harm. Because of combustion of dissolved lithium melt wear cargo or generate enough pressure to break through the cargo hold wall, so that the fire from spreading to other parts of the aircraft. Cargo hold temperature in the cargo hold, even if the fire has been extinguished, increase still makes such self-ignition of the battery and trigger a strong fire and explosion.
In this, Pcpartsltd.com friendship prompted the majority of visitors:
For the personal use of portable electronic devices (watches, calculators, cameras, mobile phones, laptop computers and camcorders, etc.) containing lithium metal batteries or lithium-ion battery should be used as hand luggage to carry boarding, so if the passenger's checked luggage, mobile phones, airline or airport security personnel will be asked to be taken out to carry a laptop or other electronic products.
Second, in order to the lives and safety of passengers, not allowed to bring more than energy lithium battery over 160Wh (watt-hours). Lithium products are mainly travelers will often carry mobile phones, laptops and digital cameras, iPhone series phones battery power is iPhone4S, it is equipped with the energy of the lithium 5.3Wh; Dell laptop battery energy 56Wh or so; The digital camera lithium battery energy is is about 5Wh. Assume that the plane when the above three products with a total energy carried by the lithium 100Wh or less, only in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Air Transport normal to carry the can.
More than 100Wh but not more than 160Wh lithium battery, be sure to take protective packaging measures. Such as the exposed electrode tape stuck to each battery is individually packed in plastic bags or protective bag.
Spare batteries only carry a maximum of two.
Carry mobile phones, computers and other mobile power or spare lithium batteries on aircraft, mobile power products insulation must be wrapped to avoid contact with other conductive material and leakage of electric shock accidents. On the plane, but also natural and can not come up with to boot. Mobile power products also do not charge too full, the required power to protect the travel more smoothly through the security check.
