I am flying to France next week. I want to take 16 Duracell AA batteries in hand luggage. I am flying easy jet. Is that allowed?

2
Yes, I don't see why not but I can't give you an official link as I'm too lazy to google!

3
Probably best to check the airlines website.

4
you are only allowed 10 AA batteries on a plane.

if you were taking AAA batteries, you could take 16.

you're also permitted to take up to 100 CR2032 batteries on the plane with you.

5
AA batteries aren't exactly difficult to come by in pretty much any country of the world

I travel light so I'd just pick them up at my destination if I needed them.

That said I don't see too much of a problem, but check with your airline.

6
From what I read recently, including on a governmental aviation website, it's best to check with the airline concerned directly. It's the only way to be sure.

7
Please state your sources. On Easyjet info says nothing about quantity. But they should be correctly packed or in original packing

Smuggle them disguised within 4 TV remote controllers, 3 calculators, and a torch

9
Hide them in a bomb, they need loads of batteries.

We're talking about France here - I realise it is barely "Western", but they are home of the on-the-edge-of-town Hypermarché where you'll be able to buy as many AA batteries as you want at a fraction of the cost in CH. (And dispose of them in a normal bin without fear of a humongous fine...)

Sounds just like son.

my only experience was with spare laptop battery, as was unable to post from UK to overseas, the one time I posted it, got a letter back saying dangerous item and destroyed.

Anyway took on fight as hand luggage in the protective pack. Separated out at the security check along with other items. Was taken to one side for checking by some machine the person used and was asked if it was a spare for laptop I had.

I recall there was something about the size and amount of cells or something when reading up, but do not have that to hand now & that was to do with laptop battery.
