You can send them by any parcels service, including Parcel Force - just not via your friendly local postman. And you can still send them via Royal Mail packet post if they are in, or accompanied by, an electronic device that relies on them.

The only people likely to be affected by this are those who like to buy small quantities of lithium batteries on fleabay or from other sellers on the interwebs, because the delivery costs are going to go up if they have to send by parcel rather than by packet post.

The solution is to buy larger quantities, less often, to get better value from the delivery charge.
