Even the AA cell in my Bose is Li+. ...???
Info from a battery manufacturer:
U.S. DOT “Interim Final Rule” went into effect on December 29, 2004 pertaining to the transport of primary lithium cells and batteries by passenger aircraft into, out of, or within the United States. What are the implications of that rule on shipments of lithium and lithium ion cells and batteries?
The rule imposes a prohibition on the offering for transportation and transportation of primary lithium cells and batteries as cargo aboard passenger-carrying aircraft into, out of, or within the United States. However, primary lithium cells with no more than 5 g of lithium content and batteries with an aggregate lithium content of no more than 25 g THAT ARE PACKED WITH OR INSTALLED IN EQUIPMENT are not subject to this prohibition.
The rule also requires the following statement (marking) be placed on packages containing only primary lithium cells with no more than 5 g of lithium content and batteries with an aggregate lithium content of no more than 25 g that are excepted from regulation under the U.S. HMR: “PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES – FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT.” The marking must be on a background of contrasting color in letters at 12 mm (0.5 inch) in height on packages having a gross mass of more than 30 kg (66 pounds); or at least 6 mm (0.25 inch) on packages having a gross
mass of 30 kg (66 pounds) or less. Packages containing primary lithium cells with more than 5 g of lithium content and batteries with an aggregate lithium content of more than 25 g should contain the “Cargo Aircraft Only” label.
