Battery powered 'smart bags' raise safety concern

Remember the hazards caused by hover-boards, dodgy chargers and
exploding mobile phones, all associated with lithium batteries and
fires.

Now a new type of travellers’ luggage known as ‘smart bags’ are
starting to get attention for their built-in lithium batteries. These
small but high capacity batteries are a power source for charging
external devices or to provide power to the wheels of the bag.

Passengers trying to check them in as carry-on bags are warned by two
Asian airlines that if they are fitted with non-removable lithium
batteries, they will be banned from flights.
