On this episode of Here’s Why, we’re talking about lithium-ion batteries, and why the airlines care about you bringing them on airplanes. Lithium-ion batteries are used in products that we see every day, including our smartphones, activity trackers, flashlights, laptops, tablets, and more. We'll talk with experts about why you're asked about them at the airport, the risks they pose, safety precautions you can take and how current safety science research around lithium-ion batteries can impact your everyday lives.
