Advice on travelling with laptop batteries:

 

• Carry batteries where you can get to them - in your hand luggage, not your hold luggage
  
• Put a tape over the metal terminal of any spares or wrap in a plastic bag
  
• Keep them away from other metallic objects
  
• Be careful where you buy them in the first place - if they're a lot cheaper, there may well be a reason
