An extra battery in a hand luggage?
score:4
Accepted answer
Probably, but with care
Although the EU security regulations don't prohibit spare batteries, there are separate safety restrictions. IATA regulations state that:
- Spare batteries < 100Wh are permitted in cabin baggage, but not in the hold.
- You can only carry two spare batteries between 100-160 Wh, again only in the cabin.
- Batteries over 160Wh are not permitted.
In all cases, each battery must either be in a separate plastic bag, or have its terminals covered to prevent a short circuit.
The British CAA guidelines for example are a little more restrictive, requiring airline approval for anything between 100-160Wh. Not sure whether any EU member states have similarly strict guidelines.
For comparison, a laptop battery is typically less than 100Wh

Yes, you can. There is the list of prohibited objects in hand luggage according to EU regulations. As batteries are not listed you can carry them without further trouble.
