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

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…

well…

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