Just means packing spares in checked baggage
You'd think that, but:
# You may not pack a spare lithium battery in your checked baggage

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I just read through the whole safe travel with batteries things and it's all stuff that should be pretty common sense and that is pretty much what all the manufacturers write up anyway. Plastic bags is one option for spares, but the other perfectly reasonable one is to just put a piece of tape over the contacts. This is something you should do with loose li-ion batteries anyway. They can short and when they do they spark, it isn't pretty, trust me on this. Something like a coin in your bag can make them short and spark.

Hubby had a pair of batteries spark on him in his coat pocket. If he hadn't smelled something weird, his whole coat might have gone up with him still in it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a lovely quilt, sara.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a great quilt. And the rest of the pictures, too!
How soon can I go to bed, do you think?

I think it's just loose lithium batteries which are causing a problem. The fire equipment on planes isn't geared to fight the fires caused by lithium batteries. Keeping the batteries in the original packaging is still ok for spares.

And my mom was worried I wouldn't like it! Sheesh. It's blues, it's a sunburst design (I love solar motifs) and some of the fabrics are a celestial pattern. It's made for me!

sarameg, that's beautiful!
I bought a table and a dresser today. We still need a few pieces for the house but I'm going slowly.

Oh! You're one step away from poutine. Be careful.

Now. I insist.
My mother has said she'd raise a kid if I birthed one. I don't think Colin took my request seriously.
