why loose lithium batteries aren’t allowed in hold luggage, but electronics containing lithium batteries are allowed
In: 1061
It’s a liability thing.
If you let lithium ion batteries get really cold (i.e. if they somehow ended up in the cargo area of an airplane at 40,000ft), their maximum charge is permanently and substantially diminished.
Making the announcement: “don’t put electronics in bagged luggage” means that bozos/the ignorant are going to have a really hard time suing the airport/airline
