To Whom It May Concern;
The following is a declaration on the transporting of PAG Lithium-Ion Batteries under the 49th Edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (2008) and the US Department of Transportation PHMSA Hazardous Materials; Transportation of Lithium Batteries; Final Rule (effective January 1st, 2009).
Effective January 1st, 2009, the following rules apply to travelling with Lithium-Ion Batteries as spare batteries on passenger aircraft:
Spare batteries are the batteries you bring separately from the devices they power. When batteries are installed in a device, they are not considered spare batteries.
You may not pack a spare Lithium-Ion battery in your checked baggage.
You may bring spare Lithium-Ion batteries with you in carry-on baggage.
The following quantity limits apply to both your spare and installed batteries.
The limits are expressed in watt-hours:
Under the final rules, you can carry-on batteries with a watt-hours rating of not more than 100 watt-hours. (All Lithium-Ion batteries in cell phones are below 100 watt-hours. Nearly all laptop computers also are below this threshold.)
You can also carry-on up to two spare batteries with a watt-hours rating of not more than 160 watt-hours, in addition to any batteries that fall below the 100 watt-hours threshold.
PAG hereby declares that the PAG L95/L95e battery range has a rating of 95 watt-hours (less than 100 watt-hours), and can be transported as defined by IATA, US Department of Transportation regulations.
PAG recommends that customers confirm with their carrier of choice, to determine any local rules and policies, before travelling.
Your L95/L95e batteries are fully protected against short-circuit and over-current. However, it is recommended that you make sure they are obviously safe and inspire confidence in the airport check-in staff e.g.put tape over the contacts, place each battery in a plastic bag, and stow them in hand-luggage in a safe and secure manner. We advise that you carry a copy of the PAG Air Transportation Certificate supplied with each PAG L95 or L95e battery, or download it from the link below:

Please note that certain airlines have refused to let Li-Ion ENG batteries on-board aircraft in hand luggage, despite legitimate safety certification that proves compliance with IATA regulations for lithium content and United Nations testing. For this reason, PAG has introduced the ZL-Series of Travel Pack batteries that contain zero-lithium, and are always welcome aboard.
