I'm getting ready for my first flight into Cozumel in 4 years and it seems like the rules on which bag batteries go into at the airport have flipped and flopped about four times since then. I plan to bring at least two cameras with me and a back up battery for each of them. In the past, departing from either the US or Cozumel, batteries currently held within the camera are perfectly fine in my carry on (and my cameras will always be carried on), but there is a difference in batteries that are not in the camera: US airports have always required them in the carry on, but leaving Cozumel they needed to be in checked luggage.
A thread from last summer makes it look like Lithium batteries (like the ones for my cameras) are now required to be in carried on bags, but other batteries are required to be in checked bags. I plan to also bring a small flashlight, but the batteries for that will be inside it, so I think that means I carry it on all flights.
What about a portable backup battery for my phone? You know, the little USB kind that isn't really just a battery?
Any updates on the rules? How do I make sure I come home with all of my batteries?
