Might explain some of the recent volatility.
imo opinion transport of bulk Lithium batteries should be banned from flights until there are fixed and common regulations. There is simply no way to know how they are being packed or charged.
It's not an issue going forward but it would have been seen as a negative.
UN to ban lithium battery shipments on airliners
WASHINGTON - Cargo shipments of rechargeable lithium batteries used in countless consumer products should no longer be allowed on passenger planes because they can create intense fires capable of destroying an aircraft, a U.N. aviation agency has concluded.
The decision late Monday by the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization's top-level governing council to ban the shipments isn't binding, but most countries follow the agency's standards. The ban is effective on April 1.
"This interim prohibition will continue to be in force as separate work continues through ICAO on a new lithium battery packaging performance standard, currently expected by 2018," said Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, the ICAO council's president.
Namrata Kolachalam, a U.S. Transportation Department spokeswoman, called the ban "a necessary action to protect passengers, crews, and aircraft from the current risk to aviation safety."
