RE: Australian postal service bans lithium battery air lifts
AtlantaTerry 31st Jul 2009
I wonder if the airplanes themselves have Lithium batteries in such devices as: emergency beacons, life rafts, etc.

What about shipments containing Lithium batteries that are not active? That is, they have a seal or sticker over the terminals. The ones that overheated were in use. I believe the American FAA authorities say that it's OK to have Lithium batteries in checked and carry-on baggage if the ends are taped making them inactive. This makes much more sense than the total Australian ban.
