Hi Folks The following link will take you to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and to their Dangerous Goods Regulations which will give you the international air transport regs - which are the worst.

Because these batteries( 1/2 AA and BA-5590/U) contain some amount of lithium which can be hazardous when it reacts with water, I believe these batteries fall under the category of hazardous material. I am not sure that they aren't exempt from governmental regulation. 1. Can anyone direct me to where I might find USA and foreign regulations concerning the transportation of lithium batteries. 2. Can lithium-ion batteries be transported in a charged state, globally? I am aware that some of these batteries are used in laptop computers and folks travel with them all over the world and when you buy them off shelf in stores I believe they are charged. I have reviewed one manufacturer's MSDS and it doesn't really provide any information concerning the battery transported in the charged state.
