The purpose of this bulletin is to inform all cockpit crew of the main changes of the Operation policy manual pa rt
A REV 10, concerning transport of lithium batteries carried by Passengers or Crew.
Reference: 9.1.2.6. Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers or Crew.
Lithium Batteries
Lithium Battery refers to a family -of'batteries with different chemistries, comprising many types of cathodes
and electrolytes. For the purposes of the DGR they are separated into:
Lithium metal ba tt eries. Are generally primary (non -rechargeable) batteries that have lithium metal or
lithium compounds as an anode. Lithium metal batteries are generally used to power devices such as
watches, calculators, cameras, tcmperaturo•data loggers.

Lithium-ion ba tt eries (sometimes abbreviated Li-ion batteries) are a type of secondary (rechargeable)
battery commonly used in consumer electronics. Also included within the category of lithium-ion batteries
are lithium polymer ba tt eries. Lithium-ion batteries are generally found in mobile telephones, laptop
computers....

Lithium batteries are classified in Class 9 . - Miscellaneous dangerous goods as:
• UN 3090, Lithium metal batteries; and
• UN 3480, Lithium ion batteries
or, if inside a piece of equipment or packed-separately with,a piece of equipment as:
• UN 3091, Lithium metal batteries coritainedin equipment;'or
• UN 3091, Lithium metal batteries packed:with equipment; and
• UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment; or
• UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment.
All lithium ion cells and batteries .shipped :by:themselves (not contained in or packed with equipment)
(UN 3480) are forbidden for transport as cargo on passenger aircraft.
- All lithium metal cells and ba tteries shipped by 'themselves (not contained in or packed with
equipment) (UN 3090) are forbidden for transport as cargo on passenger aircraft.
Note: The Watt-hour rating must be marked on'the:outside of the lithium ion battery case. The watt-hour
rating can be calculated by multiplying '.the voltage (V) by the ampere hours (Ah). Where the
amperage is shown as milliampere hours (mAh) divide the mAh value by 1,000 to establish the Ah.

Electronic cigarettes Containing ba tt eries
Electronic cigarettes including e-cigars and other personal vaporizers containing batteries when carried by
passengers or crew for personal use must be in carry-on baggage only.
Recharging of these devices and/or batteries on board the aircraft is not permitted and the passenger/crew
member must take measures to prevent accidental activation.
Spare batteries must be individually protected to prevent short circuits by placement in the original retail
packaging or by otherwise insulating terminals, e.g. by taping over exposed terminals or placing each
battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch and carried in car ry -on baggage only.
Note:
When moving carry on luggage to the cargo hold (due to insufficient space in the cabin), The following
precautions shall be taken by the Handling personnel.
• For PED carried in checked baggage measures shall be taken to prevent unintentional activation of
the device.
• Electronic cigarettes including e-cigars and other personal vaporizers containing batteries, spare
lithium batteries are permitted in carry-on baggage only.
