Are battery powered hair straighteners allowed on a plane?

I leave for Japan in a few days and my mother in law gave me a hair straightener that will be safe to use over there, but it has a liquid battery and I don t know if its okay to bring.

    Do you mean lithium battery? It should be fine. Just don't bring any spares

    I am assuming you are departing from the U.S.

    Liquid battery? You mean a butane cartridge. Please keep it in checked baggage only. No extra cartridges please. (See link.)
