You are the only source found by Google how much Lithium is used per kWh battery.

There is just right now a dessinformation campaign claiming 1500 g Lithium per kWh instead of the 80g stated in Your article.

Please could You give me a link to a US government site where this rules are published?

Lithium is also a drug used for depression, maybe the airlines are trying to promote their “happiness”.

The chemicals in batteries can be used to make bombs and the acid *may* even be able to eat away at airplane metal.
