Lithium metal or lithium alloy cells and batteries offered for transport are not subject to other additional requirements of these Regulations if they meet the requirements in this section, in addition to the General Requirements, above.. 5.0.2 .12.1.
The restrictions apply not strictly because of the lithium content, but because of the battery design which can provide high amounts of energy in a short period. This characteristic means that should the battery short out, it could generate excessive heat, causing it or nearby materials to catch fire.
Regulations for shipping lithium batteries by air are in place to protect everyone who would come in contact with a lithium battery shipment while it is being transported as air cargo; with training being required for everyone in this supply chain, to protect the aircraft, and the people in the aircraft, that is carrying the batteries.
