Just returned from Europe. Battery in camera, spare in back pack. Never questioned. No problem.

I am careful NOT to lose or misplace the plastic cover for any of my Nikon EN-EL series batteries. Nikon ought to sell spare battery covers.

Thanks, Tim


Ask the TSA. I don't think anyone here keeps up with rules that keep changing from the TSA.

Never never loose, so that the terminals could short out each other, potentially causing a fire

In real life, although I only fly a few times a year, I've never had an issue or question about the two or three spare batteries I almost always carry in my back pack. I've been dinged on my rescue inhaler more than anything else!

Here is a link to USPS rules for lithium batteries, which assume that your package will go by air. Very similar to TSA rules. When I was involved with shipping, these are the rules I used. Kinda long and technical if you're interested.

Mexico wanted to know how many cameras, and how many batteries. I had two cameras and 2 extra batteries, no problem.

Leave them in the camera and carry it on. Don’t put it in checked luggage. Of Course very few people would even think of packing the camera in their luggage. Too much chance it might go missing.

In my house, those things disappear.
