Default Lithium batteries

Selling a camera that has a spare Lithium battery, anyone know of how I
can legally post this, as the post office refuses unless the battery is
in the item being sold.
I could I suppose sell without the spare but the battery will be of no
use to me and I would rather pass it on.


Look for a toy or otherwise worthless film camera in a charity shop,
stick the spare battery inside it. Then you are shipping two cameras
with batteries inside.

Being *sensible*, the thing the camera supplies is mechanical
protection. Provided the spare is packaged with comparable protection
(e.g. bubble wrap inside a tobacco tin?) I think I would just be
economical with the truth.
