Does an air freight box need to be used when sending a mobile power bank by air

When sending everyday lithium metal (non-rechargeable) batteries by air freight, you must send them inside the product they work in. For example, if you send your TV remote and choose to send your current half-used AAA batteries as well, the batteries must be sent inside the TV remote.

To transport a lithium-ion battery in a hard case, it must have a rating below 100 watts per hour. You can also only send a maximum of 4 by air, with a maximum of 2 per package. Power banks and power/battery packs used to recharge mobile phones/tablets etc. are classed as batteries and cannot be sent in the cargo hold of planes.

Sea freight is less expensive but takes longer to transport the power banks. Express freight is more expensive, but it is a faster option. So, the best shipping method for shipping the best power bank from China to your door depends on your detailed requirements.

You cannot send loose spare lithium metal batteries by air freight. Sending lithium-ion batteries by air freight is similar to the rules you must follow when sending lithium batteries by sea freight. You can choose to send them inside their respective devices, or you can send them separately in a container with a hard case.

Air freight is the fastest way to ship goods worldwide. With airlines operating thousands of flights per day, goods can be transported across continents in just hours. This makes air cargo ideal for time-sensitive shipments like perishable foods, medical supplies, electronics, and other high-value items.

Under no circumstances should you try to ship any type of battery by air or sea freight that is known or suspected to be defective. If your battery tends to overheat or shows signs of bulging, swelling or corrosion/leakage, don't ship it, as they can be very hazardous.
