It will depend on the capacity in Wh (watt hours) but most commercially available ones should be OK. The IATA guidelines say that under 100Wh (multiply Ah x V to get Wh) is OK to bring on board and in cargo if installed in equipment. If they are loose spare batteries you can bring as many in carry on but not in the hold. Between 100-160Wh same applies but you are restricted to 2 spare loose batteries and again not allowed to check in. If over 160Wh you have to declare it and it has to be packed in cargo under the Dangerous Goods guidelines.

Here is the IATA sheet for info

iata/whatwedo/cargo/...um-battery.pdf

One thing to note is that 100 to 160 watt hrs need approval from the operator before taking onboard, as per table therein.

Also over 160 watt hrs, it states that it goes as Cargo in the hold. Be aware that this is on Cargo aircraft only. You cannot have loose, or spare, lithium batteries in the hold of a passenger aircraft.
Here is the full IATA Document that explains it fully

iata/whatwedo/cargo/d...nt-2017-en.pdf

I use Lithium batteries to fly model aircraft and helicopters and travel frequently by air with these batteries, so I use these documents a lot.

Although not essential. I use these fire resistant bags to pack the lithium batteries in to put in my carry on luggage. It helps security as it has the IATA doc. numbers on it

Hope these are of some use.
