Narrative:
The current cbt [computer based training] for cq [continuing qualification training] has a slide that reads in part '... Spare lithium batteries are any rechargeable batteries that are not installed in an electronic device.' does this mean that when an flight attendant commutes; and our bag is checked (or gate checked) that it is ok if our work tablet remains in the checked bag as the battery is installed inside? Or does this mean that it is not-ok? And it would not qualify to remain in the check bag? I am asking as a result of my recent interaction with the flight attendant official social media group. The clarity provided does not line up with what is in the cqt slide in question. Suggestions: enhance the clarity of text on [company website] and applicable flight attendant [flight attendant] manual guidance.

Title: Flight Attendant reported discrepancy between Qualification Training Hazmat material and Company Hazmat Policy.
Narrative: The current CBT [Computer Based Training] for CQ [Continuing Qualification Training] has a slide that reads in part '... Spare lithium batteries are any rechargeable batteries that are not installed in an electronic device.' Does this mean that when an FA commutes; and our bag is checked (or gate checked) that it is ok if our work tablet remains in the checked bag as the battery is installed inside? Or does this mean that it is not-ok? And it would not qualify to remain in the check bag? I am asking as a result of my recent interaction with the Flight Attendant Official social media group. The clarity provided does not line up with what is in the CQT slide in question. Suggestions: Enhance the clarity of text on [company website] and applicable FA [Flight Attendant] manual guidance.
