United Nations Agency Bans Bringing Spare Lithium-Ion Batteries on Airplanes!

Starting April 1, lithium-ion batteries will be restricted in your plane travel especially bringing spare or more of them. Lithium Ion batteries are found in mobile phones and laptops, portable computers and other electronic gadgets. 


|The U.N. aviation agency on Monday prohibited transporting of lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger aircraft, following concerns by pilots and plane makers that they are a fire risk. Lithium metal batteries, which are used in watches, have already been banned on passenger planes globally. Lithium metal batteries, used in watches, are not rechargable while lithium-ion batteries, used in cell phones and laptops, can be recharged. 
Reuters report that the International Civil Aviation Organization's 36-state governing council said the prohibition would be in effect as of April 1, and would be maintained until a new fire-resistant packaging standard is designed to transport the batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can still be transported on cargo planes.|
