Hi Bob,
This style of battery is a lithium-ion.
Lithium batteries are also prohibited to be carried by air post.
They can only be shipped domestically by road.
They are on the Australia Post "Dangerous & Prohibited Items" list.
See
http://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/d...ted-items.html
Since their energy densities are very high, if one is faulty or
becomes damaged so as to internally short and begin to burn,
if they were in the cargo-hold they could bring down a passenger plane.
Best Regards
Gary
