[Leica] Batteries and Airports

[Frank Filippone]

The issue with Lithium batteries.... is that the batteries can, sometimes, under certain conditions, get hot and eventually start a fire.  They do not want this happening in the cargo hold.....  Onboard, the fire could be put out.....

Some places where there are Li batteries include your camera, cell phone ( Hello Samsung), your digital watch, etc.

Can you imagine the grief if the airlines made you fly with no cameras, cell phone, watch, etc.  ???????
