jonpais Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'll be returning to the States from Vietnam for the first time in almost nine years, and of course, I'll want to record my trip on my GH4. But I see that the carrier forbids carrying spare lithium batteries with check-in luggage. I will only be taking a small Lowepro camera backpack with my laptop and some warm clothing. How do you deal with these restrictions? I will need to bring along spare batteries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I flew from Hanoi to Europe just 2 weeks ago. With the check-in luggage I had a spare battery for my Nikon D800, and I also had a Sony NEX camera with its battery.No issues in security control.So, if you can pass the security checks at the airport with the batteries, I doubt you will have any trouble with the airline itself.

fuzzynormal Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 How do you deal with these restrictions?By ignoring them, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Mason Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The restriction is only for very large capacity batteries, typically larger than 200Wh (brick batteries), usually smaller ones you have to put them in your carry-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks for the responses. Actually, I believe I'll only be bringing a carry-on with one spare GH4 battery and one mobile battery. I guess carry-on is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
