Air freight for Li-ion batteries is pretty strictly regulated too, especially when the freight is carried on passenger aircraft.


Yup, any time I order anything from Amazon that has lithium it comes with a big warning sticker about shipping restrictions. Even if it's a fixed battery inside a device.


See UPS Flight 6 for a very good reason about why the flight of lithium batteries is regulated

I watched both Mentour Pilot and Green Dot Aviation's videos about it. Mentour Pilot's video terrified me, as it simulated the audio of being inside the cockpit, with GPWS, fire warnings, the sound of the fire all going on at the same time
