Can I Take Alkaline Batteries On An Airplane. Yes you can bring batteries on planes although how you pack them depends on the type of battery. Dry cell rechargeable batteries such as Nickel Metal Hydride NiMH and Nickel Cadmium NiCad.
Really the major kind of batteries you might see today that DO have some restrictions are so-called wet-cell batteries that are found on some older model power wheel chairs and carautotruck batteries. Just remember with lithium ion you can carry four batteries under 100 watts on the airplane with you. There is a general reference to Non-spillable batteries in devices - maximum 12V and 100Wh which includes Dry Cells which an alkaline battery is- they are permitted in both Checked and Carry on luggage as long.
So here is the breakdown on what batteries are allowed and prohibited in carry-on and checked bags along with some packing tips for safe travel with batteries.
Consumer-sized batteries up to 2 grams of lithium per battery may be carried. Small lithium batteries and cells. Typical AA AAA C D 9-volt button-sized cells etc. You can also take two up to 160 watt or sometimes one 300 watt battery with special permission.
