Lithium batteries power everything from phones to cars to medical devices, yet they are among the most difficult items to ship by air freight! Many countries and virtually all airlines have strict regulations regarding the shipment of lithium batteries because they have the potential to cause catastrophic damage to aircraft if anything goes wrong.
When considering your equipment seek options where your batteries fall within these categories. Finally, there are both Lithium Ion and Lithium Metal batteries on the market. In general, it is easier to move Lithium Ion batteries by air freight as they are more exempted from regulations.
