Ion batteries for mobile phones and laptops can be charged.

The ban is mandatory for ICAO member states.
Pilots and aircraft manufacturers are concerned that existing standards are not enough to contain a lithium battery fire.
A 2015 working paper written by organizations represented by aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing
It was found that the fire control system on the passenger plane could not \"suppress or extinguish the fire caused by a large number of lithium batteries \".
But a dangerous goods expert familiar with ICAO\'s thinking questioned the ban on lithium
Ion batteries can really make passenger planes safer.
He said that such battery fire incidents usually involve the shipper deliberately labeling the battery.
\"When the industry banned the transportation of lithium metal batteries, we saw them posing as lithium-
