Check your Batteries

Warning...This is not a joke. This is not a joke.

New rules for loose batteries while flying go into effect Jan 1, 2008.

How do I measure the lithium content of my batteries? How is a screener going to do this?

Re: Check your Batteries

Wow! There might be a label on the battery that says its lithum content but otherwise I have no idea how they would check it except weighing the entire battery and doing a set percentage...

I am not sure but it sounds like it is just the nonrechargable lithium metal batteries that are banned.
