Are Drill Batteries Allowed On Planes. The Federal Aviation Administration FAA has implemented safety guidelines for batteries being transported on airplanes. Specifically some of my battery powered tools.
If the battery is installed in a device it can be carried in either checked or carry-on baggage. Battery-powered tools such as cordless drills and saws can technically travel in checked in luggage with their batteries attached but they have to be prevented from shorting and from accidentally activating. Do not carry damaged or recalled batteries on the plane.
Heathrowcaa website says batteries in the checked luggage has to be attached the device BUT the Gulf air people I spoke to say remove the battery and pack both into the checked luggage.
If the battery is a spare - that is the battery is by itself and not contained in equipment - it must be in your carry-on baggage only. Most battery-powered devices need to meet flight safety laws. Loose lithium batteries are prohibited in checked bags. 12V x 5Ah 60Wh Important.
