Special Provision A100<br />

Special Provision A100 states that primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries and<br />

cells are forbidden for transport aboard passenger-carrying aircraft and secondary<br />

(rechargeable) lithium batteries and cells are authorized aboard passenger-carrying aircraft<br />

in packages that do not exceed a gross weight <strong>of</strong> 5 kg.<br />

Special provision A100 is revised to clarify the weight limitations for secondary<br />

lithium batteries are net and not gross quantities. There are some combinations <strong>of</strong><br />

authorized battery packagings that contribute significantly towards the gross weight <strong>of</strong> the<br />

finished package. The intent <strong>of</strong> this change is to indicate that the quantity limits for<br />

secondary lithium battery shipments aboard passenger-carrying aircraft are to be based on<br />

the actual weight <strong>of</strong> the batteries in each individual package and not the weight <strong>of</strong> the<br />

completed package.<br />

Special Provision A103<br />

Special Provision A103 specifies that lithium batteries contained in equipment is<br />

authorized aboard passenger carrying aircraft if the gross weight <strong>of</strong> the inner package <strong>of</strong><br />

secondary lithium batteries or cells packed with the equipment does not exceed 5 kg (11<br />

pounds).<br />

Special provision A103 is revised to clarify the weight limitations are net and not<br />

gross quantities. There are some combinations <strong>of</strong> authorized battery packagings that<br />

contribute significantly towards the gross weight <strong>of</strong> the finished package. The intent <strong>of</strong><br />

this change is to indicate that the quantity limits for secondary lithium battery shipments<br />

aboard passenger carry aircraft are to be based on the actual weight <strong>of</strong> the batteries in each<br />
