Yes, lithium batteries can be transported by air, but they must comply with international air transport regulations and there are specific requirements depending on the type, capacity, and quantity of lithium batteries.
According to international air transport regulations, the maximum capacity limit for lithium-ion batteries and lithium polymer batteries is 100Wh, and the maximum capacity limit for lithium battery packs is 160Wh. Furthermore, different airlines and countries may have different restrictions, which need to be thoroughly investigated and understood before air transport.
Lithium batteries transported by air must also comply with international air transport packaging standards. The packaging must ensure the batteries are not damaged, prevent short circuits or impacts to the electrodes, and prevent leakage. Clear labeling, including necessary warning signs and markings, is also required to ensure aviation safety and effective notification.
Air freight of lithium batteries requires the preparation of relevant documents, including battery model, quantity, accessories, packaging standards, and international approvals. After correctly understanding and complying with these regulations, lithium batteries can be transported by air.
