If I wanna buy this product here and bring back my home country by Airplane, are li-on batteries not allowed? So ni-cd batteries are only option?

You can't put lithium ion batteries in your checked luggage, but if you take the batteries out of the bag you should be able to bring them in a carry on luggage.

Truong, I think the only real answer to this question has to come from the air carrier you are using to return home.

Apologies for such a late/delayed response. ALL of the listed rechargeable batteries AA/AAA/C/D/9V are handled, and BOTH types, the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel-Cadmium (NiCD). I have been using it for quite awhile now, and this unit works wonderfully. But, I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone, spend a little bit more money on the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeables! They last about two to three times as long after recharge than the NiCD type. Just a suggestion :) :) :)

There is a battery recommended in the manual. The best place I found to buy it was Amazon, but Interstate has them also.

As of Feb, 2015 FAA rules permit airline passengers to carry devices containing Lithium Ion batteries in both carry-on baggage and in checked baggage. BUT, spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries are not allowed in checked luggage. They are allowed in carry-on baggage. The batteries must be properly packed to prevent damage and short circuiting. The FAA considers external battery chargers to be spare or uninstalled batteries. Note that FAA rules govern travel within the U.S.. If you are traveling outside the U.S., my guess is that you'll have to check the rules for each country you plan to visit. See faa.gov and airsafe.com sites for more information.

This is Govex Commerve. WE see a misleading. It is not a Lithium battery. It's a NiMH batery.

More than likely it is the lithium battery. Lithium batteries have to travel by ground transportation. So that would require travel through a foreign country, Canada. And Canada has restrictions about what can cross international lines. I know this because I work for a business that has to sell things, and sometimes shipping to Alaska can be a pain

This battery follows general lithium ion batteries travel rules. It is allowed to carry on to airplane. It is allowed to use during flying in most case. However, airlines may have their own special rules. It is recommend to check with the airlines you are using. Best regards.

I just got mine and couldn't find where it said not to use rechargeables, tried N-MH batteries and it worked fine. All 4 modes OK. I would rather use rechargeables since have had Alkalines leak and ruin things the last 3-4 years, (new ones ). I'm talking major brand batteries too. Maybe Chinas' Quality Control has dropped.

I guess Amazon has the batteries for this device. I just know I can't buy them just everywhere. I don't know why they didn't use a AAA battery. I think they are thin enough but well...they are the designers. I don't live in the U.S. so maybe that's why I can't get a hold of this model of battery so easily.

I doubt parts are available, and why would you bother? It's basically a "throw away" device. The non-replaceable nickle cadmium battery has proven poorly and does not age well. For $20 something buy a new one (best to choose a different brand so as to avoid the battery charging issues you can read about in the reviews).

If someone is looking for an expanded answer, TSA has a blog page that gives a lot more information regarding the question of batteries on airplanes (http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/06/travel-tips-tuesday-safely-packing.html). Some airlines may have more restrictive rules, but it's a good guide. In this case, the shaver has a NiMH battery, which is allowed in both carry-on and checked luggage. They recommend NiMH batteries are installed in a device, or individually packaged to prevent the batteries causing a short, which can cause a fire. If the batteries can be removed, I don't remember how. In other words, it's fine.

It is not a ni-cad so you won't have a memory issue with these batteries. The battery removes easily if you want to keep a fully charged spare available. Since it works on 115 volts AC as well as 12 volts DC the battery is really needed when you are away from the human grid. There is always that crank if all else fails. This is one really flexible radio. Dave (GMRS License kaf9292).

Well, Actualy mine I got it by hand carry in a plane from a freind, and I beleive since you don't switch it ON, there is not harm to get it an aircraft.

If it works you can ( Though manufacturer does not recommend it ). The charger does not work most of the time. It keeps showing every battery "BAD". However, there are much cheaper chargers available on AMAZON to charge NI-CAD and NI-MIH batteries.
