They were packed in PMC 5871. Not sure if it was put in the forward or aft.

That's a lot of Lithium Ion batteries in a PAX aircraft.

I understand the cargo manifest to mean that the shipment 232-10677085 was a consolidation shipment consisting of 133 boxes of "something" (average weight of 15 kg per box), stacked as a PMC pallet, and 67 boxes of "something else" (average weight 7 kg per box) in a big bag. Some of these unspecified items could have contained lithium batteries (maybe they were boxes of laptops or digital cameras). The detailed item breakdown should be in a separate manifest which is not part of the link.

P.S. Found one article that calls these items walkie talkies.
