Lithium Batteries in Baggage ...
Oh, it will be okay in there....
This is the result of a model Helicopter battery touching something metallic in a checked bag and shorting out. A fire started, fortunately the bag was in a bag room and not in the belly of an aircraft.
The reality is that these batteries are dangerous. When you put an unprotected Lithium Battery in your bag, you take the chance of creating a serious incident.
Be smart and stow these batteries in your carry on bag, protected from coming into contact with anything metal.
Don't let this be your bag, on your flight, in a compartment no one can get into with a fire extinguisher. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Halon systems in the aircraft holds are not completely effective?
