The latest guidance from IATA for flying with nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries states that there are no restrictions for flying with a Ni-MH battery.

IATA Guidance on the air transport of nickel-metal hybride (NiMH) batteries:
Entry UN 3496 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) states that nickel-metal hydride batteries are “not restricted” for air transport (either checked or carry on) provided that the shipper prepares the device for transport to prevent:

  • A short circuit (e.g., with batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals; or, with equipment, by disconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals).
  • Unintentional activation.

The FAA and TSA State: Carry-on baggage
Passengers can carry most consumer-type batteries and portable battery-powered electronic devices for their own personal use in carry-on baggage. Spare batteries must be protected from damage and short circuit. Battery-powered devices must be protected from accidental activation and heat generation. Damaged or recalled batteries, including when in a device, must not be carried. Batteries allowed in carry-on baggage include:

  •  Dry cell alkaline batteries: typical AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt, button-sized cells, etc.
  • Dry cell rechargeable batteries such as Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel Cadmium (NiCad).

Checked baggage
Except for spare (uninstalled) lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries, all the batteries allowed in carry-on baggage are also allowed in checked baggage. The batteries must be protected from damage and short circuit or installed in a device. Battery-powered devices—particularly those with moving parts or those that could heat—must be protected from accidental activation.
