Smart baggage is the term used for baggage that consists of devices that include integrated lithium batteries that allow for the charging of external devices, and have extra capabilities such as GPS tracking devices, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, self-weighing capabilities and digital locks. Smart baggage whose lithium batteries cannot be detached are not allowed as cabin baggage or checked baggage.
Smart baggage can be allowed as cabin and checked baggage, if the following conditions are met.
Transporting smart baggage in cabin
The lithium battery has to be detached from the smart baggage, carried as cabin baggage and cannot be reinserted until the destination is reached.
To protect the detached lithium battery from short-circuiting, the battery should be placed in its original packaging, or its terminals should be insulated, or the battery should be placed in secure plastic bags.
The lithium battery cannot exceed 100Wh (Li-ion) power or contain more than 2g (Li-metal).
Transporting smart baggage as checked baggage
The lithium battery has to be detached from the smart baggage and carried separately in the cabin.
The above rules do not apply for smart baggage that is powered by lithium button cells.
