If you do a google of "UN3480" and look at 3&4 (the ICAO ones) in the search it gives you the rules pretty clearly, with a handy flowchart as well. #DGRNerd

Thanks, Ex Cargo Clown.
I see from the flow chart that there is no charge percentage restriction on Li-Ion batteries connected to equipment, so that bit didn't change in April. |
Lithium Ion...big deal...yes, a bit dangerous...(and by that I mean...only a teensy weensy bit)...BUT :
I don't see enough talk about Lithium POLYMER (LiPo) batteries... Those things are exceedingly dangerous and volatile, by comparison to Lithium Ion...yet I know of many people who just pop them in their pockets and fly with them... |
I don't see enough talk about Lithium POLYMER (LiPo) batteries... Those things are exceedingly dangerous and volatile, by comparison to Lithium Ion.. They are not inherently any more dangerous. They have a bad reputation because people buy cheap high capacity LiPo batteries from unknown manufacturers in China then wonder why they explode. But a well manufactured LiPo isn't any more dangerous than other well manufactured Lithium Ion batteries. |
Lithium-Ion battery trials, 3/4 September 1991.

Just came back from the post office and they said that Germany and Italy will both no longer accept any items posted from the U.K. containing electronic items with Li-Ion batteries installed. Who is going to buy an iPhone with no battery in it, other than someone who already owns a battery? Does any one know of other countries with such prohibitions (France seems to be o.k. with them, at the moment)?
