Airlines don’t want to fly with rechargeable batteries
Citing safety concerns, United Airlines says it will no longer accept bulk shipments of rechargeable lithium batteries of the kind that power everything from smartphones to laptops to power tools.
United is the second major U.S. airline to decide it will no longer accept lithium-ion battery shipments. Delta Air Lines stopped accepting the bulk shipments last month.
It’s not uncommon for tens of thousands of the batteries to be shipped in a single cargo container aboard a passenger airliner on an international flight.
Federal Aviation Administration tests over the past year show that when a single battery overheats it can result in a chain reaction, causing other batteries to short circuit and overheat.
As they overheat, the batteries emit explosive gases. Several tests have resulted in fierce explosions and fires.

Got it, thanks. Phew...was worried I might have to leave my Reos at home on the next trip. Fortunately, only bulk shipments. Not that that would not effect us too, but more indirectly.
