LiSO2 battery AD
79-18-05; Title: Revision: LITHIUM SULFUR DIOXIDE BATTERIES: Applies to all Lithium Sulfur Dioxide (LiSO2) Batteries
To prevent fire, venting violently, explosion, corrosion, or leakage of gas associated with certain LiSO2 batteries, accomplish the following:
(a) Before further flight, remove all LiSO2 batteries which do not meet the requirements of TSO-C97 from U.S.-registered civil aircraft, including any installed in equipment used in such aircraft.
NOTE: This AD requires that LiSO2 batteries used in U.S.-registered civil aircraft meet the requirements of TSO-C97. LiSO2 batteries removed from equipment in accordance with AD 79-05-02 or this AD may be replaced by LiSO2 batteries which meet the requirements of TSO-C97 or another power source. However, in either case the equipment must meet all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
___________________________________________________
As you can see, this issue goes way back. We just got new AEDs for our corporate aircraft and the batteries were placarded against use in aircraft. A quick call to the mfg and they had TSO-C97 batteries available.
If you have a "Lithium Ion Sulphur Dioxide" (sp) battery in anything, it is not legal to be carried in any civil registered aircraft registered in any category.
Read the AD and judge for yourselves but I believe this includes carry on equipment.
