What are the lithium battery restrictions?

Lithium battery restrictions are the rules governing the transport of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which are considered hazardous goods due to fire risk. Currently, most shipping lines and airlines do not accept devices containing lithium batteries, including laptops, phones, cameras, tablets, E-bikes and electric cars.

 PSS Tip: Lithium batteries usually need to be taken as carry-on luggage. Your Move Manager will be able to give you further advice
