It is possible to purchase the service while booking or by accessing the "MY RESERVATION" , for any need please contact the Neos Support Chat.

 

Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries may be dangerous and can cause fire if not carried properly.

Whether a lithium battery can be carried by air or not depends on its configuration and its Watt-hour (Wh) rating (for rechargeable lithium-ion/polymer batteries) or Lithium Content (LC) (for non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries).

Please use the following table to determine if the battery you intend to bring is acceptable:

Watt-hour Rating (Wh) or (Li Content)	Examples	Configuration	Hand baggage	Hold baggage
= 100 Wh (2 g) See Note 8	Small lithium batteries and cells for mobile phones, cameras, watches, portable music players, most original laptop computers, etc	In equipment		Recommended in hand-baggage (See note 4)
		Spares	Max n. 5 pieces per person only if isolated from accede short circuits
> 100 a = 160 Wh	Medium lithium batteries and cells include extended life batteries for laptop computers, and batteries used by audiovisual professionals	In equipment		Recommended in hand-baggage (See note 4)
		Spares	Max n. 2 pieces per person only if isolated from accede short circuits (See Note 6)
> 160 Wh	Large lithium batteries and cells primarily for equipment used in industry, and may be found in some electric and hybrid vehicles, mobility devices, scooters, etc.	Proibite al trasporto come bagaglio   Must be presented and carried as Cargo in accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations For lithium-ion battery powered wheelchairs or other similar mobility aids for use by passengers whose mobility is restricted by a disability, health/age, or a temporary mobility problem (eg broken leg), please see WHEELCHAIRS

Lithium batteries: Important Notes:

1 - Please ensure that you have the information available for our staff when requested on the Watt-hour (Wh) or Lithium content (g) for all the installed and spare batteries that you are planning to bring either as carry-on or check-in baggage. Lithium batteries with no or unclear marking of Watt-hour (Wh) rating or Lithium Content (LC) will be refused carriage.

- Amp-hours (Ah) to Watt-hours (Wh) Conversion: Multiply Ah by Voltage (V), (1Ah = 1,000 mAh), both of these data are displayed on the information plate of the battery.

- Example: 2.38Ah x 14.4V = 34 Wh for a laptop computer lithium-ion battery

2 - Lithium batteries must be of a type which meets the United Nations (UN) test requirements specified in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III Section 38.3.

3 - Equipment/Electronic devices installed with built-in or plug-in lithium batteries such as laptop computers, cameras, mobile phones etc. must be switched off with measures to be taken to ensure that they cannot be accidentally activated when placed in check-in baggage

4 - The maximum number of equipment/electronic devices containing lithium batteries (each within 160Wh or 2g) for carriage in check-in baggage is 10 pieces per passenger, and up to 10 pieces in each bag. For example:

- 10 pieces per passenger in total (e.g. one passenger checks in two bags)

- 10 pieces maximum in one bag (e.g. two passengers check in one bag only)

5 - spare batteries, also called “loose”batteries, are those not installed in equipment. A lithium-ion battery inside your laptop computer is an installed battery. A battery carried separately, as a backup when installed battery runs low, is a spare battery 6. Terminals of all spare lithium batteries placed in carry-on baggage must be protected from short circuit by:

6 - Terminals of all spare lithium batteries placed in carry-on baggage must be protected from short circuit by:

- Enclosing them in their original retail packaging, or

- Taping over the terminals, or

- Placing each battery in a separate plastic bag (or protective pouch)

7 - Portable battery charger / Power bank (with built-in lithium batteries) used to recharge the lithium-ion batteries contained in equipment, such as mobile phone, is considered as spare lithium battery.

8 - Non-rechargeable batteries with more than 2 grams of lithium (eg ‘C’ size battery and above) are forbidden in any baggage and must be presented and carried as Cargo in accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

9 - Lithium batteries carried in any baggage must conform to the above acceptance criteria. For safety concern, we may refuse further carriage of any excessive and unacceptable batteries upon discovery.

10 - You may be requested by our staff to declare your conformance of the above lithium batteries regulations
