[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 346495, member: 4012"] The other important thing to bear in mind with lithium batteries, is that if you are planning to take them along when flying, you need to check first with the airline's website for their quite stringent regulations regarding lithium battery output and stowage requirements. If lithium batteries overheat and catch fire (eg. from a short circuit or faulty charger), apparently the resultant blaze cannot be doused by conventional extinguishers. Hence, all airlines are very wary of the danger they could pose in-flight. With regard to detectors specifically, I believe I've read that Whites won't ship their own TDI batteries outside the USA because of postal (airline) restrictions. [/QUOTE]
