OK, got my new camera now. Are there some restrictions taking these little batteries on an air plane? Pack them as baggage? Carry them on? How about the one in my camera?

Little tiny Li-ion batteries

Perhaps this will help:
Caution: Federal Regulations prohibit the carriage of spare lithium style batteries, such as laptop and DVD player rechargeable batteries and lithium metal AA style batteries, in your checked luggage. If you have any type of lithium spare batteries, each must be placed in its own protective case, plastic bag, or package, or place tape across the battery's contacts to isolate terminals. They may only be brought in your carry on bags.
Further information can be found at: http://safetravel.dot.gov/
I would check with your airlines when you book your flight.

Thanks,,, got it.
JC,
And here's a great way to carry your W30 ( and extra battery)
And a picture of MY W30 encased in the holder. At that price , I bought 20. PM me with a shipping address and one will be on it's way. We'll "square up" with a trade at the MIFI.

PS: The "deal" was available at Lowes. Also, there is a belt clip and vertical or horizontal belt loops.

PM sent!
Jim,
With all the air miles I've packed on, I always carry them in my carry on with the good lenses and other equipment. Keep new extras in their original package and please do contact your airline things change all the time.

Did you have 'spare' batteries in your carry-on? The spares seem to be the ones they are concerned with.
