Batteries are the most confiscated items at airports. 

Auckland airport alone reportedly confiscates nearly 500 batteries every single day, then donates the batteries to those who need them. 

Civil Aviation Authority General Manager Warrick Burr told Heather duPlessis-Allan that passengers ‘have an opportunity to learn the rules’ before having items confiscated. 

He said that batteries must be securely stored in hand luggage and not touching any other batteries.
