No it doesn't.
That quote comes from the section
Ergo, the device is not active.
Where does it say that?
The Prohibited goods and Prohibited goods are exactly the same AFAICS.
Both personal and business customers are subject to
And for both personal and business customers

Well I must admit I'm still confused - but more to do with what I thought I was reading the other day data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 - TBH everytime I search for these on the RM website I think it's different //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif

There are more than that, the rules are repeated multiple times.
It still doesn't make much sense to me though.
As far as I can tell, the rule is that you can send batteries inside a device, plus two spares, but not send batteries on their own.
If one battery, on it's own, is dangerous (and if not, why is is prohibited?), how does putting it in a box with a device designed to use that battery make it safe data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

It needs to be sent by a courier other than Royal Mail...

Yes - but I'm surprised, since it's the DOT and CAA that have agreed the rules for RM, that all UK delivery services are not subject to them.... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

It's an 'issue' for aircraft, so a courier that only uses road & rail will not have a problem.
Just had a look at DHL (they were the first courier on a Google search for Lithium battery restrictions ) - they rank batteries based on capacity, and do allow batteries on their own subject to packaging and labelling requirement.

Yes I tried to check out other couriers and their lack of "same" restrictions was what prompted that post - surely RM aren't the only mail service in the UK to use aircraft and also surely restricting the postal delivery to 2nd class would be enough to rule that out within the UK ?
