[Leica] Lithium battery issue on international flights?

[John McMaster]

I have just flown half way around the world with over a dozen LIB in my hand luggage. I sent a camera system by unattended baggage (air) and could not send LIB with it (hence so many batteries in hand luggage). My workshop tool LIBs are OK coming over by sea...

Once upon a dream I remember restrictions on how many lithium ion batteries could be carried aboard an airliner on an international flight. It was a small number, like four or something.

Is that happening? Or isn’t it a big deal.

I ask because I plan on flying with about a dozen of the little suckers, 4 for my Fuji and 8 for my Sony cameras. I’d hate to have them confiscated since they’re pricey.

I’d appreciate experiences or concrete info.

Thanks!
