isn't it dangerous to pack a plane full of lithium ion batteries? it didn't go so well for UPS 006.
No. They're all contained with protection circuitry. Unprotected cells have different requirements.
This person works in the battery industry. Hello fellow battery expert!
I used to work in portable electronics. We had a battery vendor who wanted to overnight us some samples (like 100mAh cells).
To get them on the plane, they just bought a My Neighbor Totoro night light, popped it open, and shoved the battery inside. They didn't even tell us they were going to do that.
Sometimes it's a lot easier to skirt laws than explain why they're wrong.
Yeah plus, y'know... free night light.
