49 CFR Ch. I (10-1-18 Edition)

be carried per person as spare batteries
in carry-on baggage.
(iii) For a non-spillable battery, the
battery and equipment must conform
to Section 173.159a(d). Each battery must not
exceed a voltage greater than 12 volts
and a watt-hour rating of not more
than 100 Wh. No more than two individually protected spare batteries may be
carried. Such equipment and spare batteries must be carried in checked or
carry-on baggage.
(iv) Articles containing lithium
metal or lithium ion cells or batteries
the primary purpose of which is to provide power to another device must be
carried as spare batteries in accordance
with the provisions of this paragraph.
(19) Except as provided in Section 173.21 of
this subchapter, battery-powered portable electronic smoking devices (e.g.,
e-cigarettes, e-cigs, e-cigars, e-pipes, ehookahs, personal vaporizers, electronic nicotine delivery systems) when
carried by passengers or crewmembers
for personal use must be carried on
one-s person or in carry-on baggage
only. Spare lithium batteries also must
be carried on one-s person or in carryon baggage only and must be individually protected so as to prevent short
circuits (by placement in 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). Each lithium battery must
be of a type which meets the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of
Tests and Criteria, Part III, Subsection
38.3. Recharging of the devices and/or
the batteries on board the aircraft is
not permitted. Each battery must not
exceed the following:
(i) For lithium metal batteries, a
lithium content of 2 grams; or
(ii) For lithium ion batteries, a Watthour rating of 100 Wh.
(20) Fuel cells used to power portable
electronic devices (e.g., cameras, cellular phones, laptop computers and
camcorders) and spare fuel cell cartridges when transported personal use
under the following conditions:
(i) Fuel cells and fuel cell cartridges
may contain only Division 2.1 liquefied
flammable gas, or hydrogen in a metal
hydride, Class 3 flammable liquid (including methanol), Division 4.3 water-

reactive material, or Class 8 corrosive
material;
(ii) The quantity of fuel in any fuel
cell or fuel cell cartridge may not exceed:
(A) 200 mL (6.76 ounces) for liquids;
(B) 120 mL (4 fluid ounces) for liquefied gases in non-metallic fuel cell cartridges, or 200 mL (6.76 ounces) for liquefied gases in metal fuel cell cartridges;
(C) 200 g (7 ounces) for solids; or
(D) For hydrogen in metal hydride,
the fuel cell cartridges must have a
water capacity of 120 mL (4 fluid
ounces) or less;
(iii) No more than two spare fuel cell
cartridges may be carried by a passenger or crew member as follows:
(A) Fuel cell cartridges containing
Class 3 flammable liquid (including
methanol) and Class 8 corrosive material in carry-on or checked baggage;
and
(B) Division 2.1 liquefied flammable
gas or hydrogen in a metal hydride and
Division 4.3 water-reactive material in
carry-on baggage only;
(iv) Fuel cells containing fuel are
permitted in carry-on baggage only;
(v) Fuel cell cartridges containing
hydrogen in a metal hydride must meet
the requirements in Section 173.230(d) of this
subchapter;
(vi) Refueling of a fuel cell aboard an
aircraft is not permitted except that
the installation of a spare cartridge is
allowed;
(vii) Each fuel cell and fuel cell cartridge must conform to IEC 62282-6-100
and IEC 62282-6-100 Amend. 1 (IBR; see
Section 171.7 of this subchapter) and must be
marked with a manufacturer-s certification that it conforms to the specification. In addition, each fuel cell cartridge must be marked with the maximum quantity and type of fuel in the
cartridge;
(viii) Interaction between fuel cells
and integrated batteries in a device
must conform to IEC 62282-6-100 and
IEC 62282-6-100 Amend. 1 (IBR, see
Section 171.7 of this subchapter). Fuel cells
whose sole function is to charge a battery in the device are not permitted;
and
(ix) Fuel cells must be of a type that
will not charge batteries when the consumer electronic device is not in use
