Do not carry recalled or damaged batteries on aircraft. Check battery recall information at the manufacturer's website, or at the Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov).

Avoid dropping laptop computers or other devices.

Purchase batteries from reliable sources.

Avoid packing battery-powered equipment in checked baggage.

If you must carry a battery-powered device in any baggage, package it to prevent inadvertent activation. For instance, you should pack a cordless power tool in a protective case, with a trigger lock engaged.
