airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from
short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE:
LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
