Transportation

WARNING:
or carry the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting
batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce
or on airplanes in carry-on baggage UNLESS they
are properly protected from short circuits. So when
transporting individual battery packs, make sure that
the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a
short circuit.
NOTE:
Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.
