Lithium batteries have always been a safety hazard for aircraft. The new rule covers computers, cell phones and even razors. If it is not completely closed, it will be checked in with your luggage. Once bumps and impacts are encountered along the way, fires and explosions may easily occur.

On August 22 last year, on a flight from Hokkaido, Japan to Tokyo, a lithium battery carried by passengers caught fire in Hokkaido, causing the passenger plane to make an emergency landing and almost causing a catastrophe.

On February 18 this year, a similar accident occurred in Nagoya on a flight from China to Nagoya.

This strict new rule mainly applies to checked baggage, while baggage brought into the aircraft cabin is not affected. In addition, the ban on checked mobile power supplies remains unchanged.
