I just received the package, it says "Primary Lithium batteries - forbidden for transport aboard passenger aircraft". I can't take this on an plane??

Yes, I was told like that but I received the package with lithium batteries ...

well, I brought mine on a flight from USA to Brazil, however I did not hear that information concerning that restriction. Just to be on the safe side, you can remove the batteries and replace them for new ones when you get home ! regards

This isn't meant to be sarastic so please don't take it as such: I'm not with the TSA, so I can't comment on whether or not this is able to be brought on board. I'm not sure what the rules and regulations are for air travel, but in all honesty it's just a flashlight.

In your carry-on you should have no issue. You cannot put most batteries in checked baggage though.

Linda, these are lithium ion battery packs and are considerably heavier than a lithium polymer battery which is the best bet for an RC aircraft. Im sure they could work but they are better suited for using with the LED bike lights. You should look into a lithium polymer battery for your aircraft. And be sure to use a proper charger for lithium polymer batteries.

The key here is "airtight container". My family has used these gel-filled batteries in handicap scooters since the mid- "90's , including on commercial flights, with NO problems whatsoever. (commercial flights mandate these batteries. Regular electrolyte batteries (automotive type) are not approved for transport in handicap scooters or powered wheel chairs on commercial flights).Thousands, probably hundreds of thousands are used daily worldwide and I have never heard of a problem. Under what circumstances would you want to put them in an airtight container?

The airline I work for prohibits the devices from being used or carried onboard because it is considered a fire hazard. Better check with the airline you're using.

This battery was designed well over a decade ago, long before the current air travel safety requirements. Your best bet would be to see if any of the manufacturer's web sites claim compliance, and then buy only that brand.

I had issues with that. And the battery. Bad cell. Return was quick and painless tho. Amazon got me a new battery in 2 days. The charger I would recommend only using one that specifies lithium. Battery tender was out of stock so I got a battery tender plus charger. You can leave it on the battery for long periods and it's safe with lithium. I hope this helped.

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

Doesn't fit the iphone and if it is supposed to there was no adapter. Also says right on the box you cannot take a lithium battery on commercial airlines. Useless!

I've never had an issue carrying external battery packs; they're treated the same way as regular chargers. Make sure not to use cellphones and the like at any point in the plane unless they allow you to do so though.

You can't take this in carry on, but the TSA will allow it in with checked baggage under their stun gun regulations. You need to check with your individual carrier because some carriers will treat this using the same rules as a firearm, such as unloaded and must be in a locked container. Regardless, I do not believe they will allow you to carry it with the battery in place, and in fact, you are probably better off keeping the battery with you in the cabin.

The battery's thickness is too big so it doesn't fit on the helicopter compartment. I just sent a claim, I hope they reply to me soon.

Let me answer this, as I fly with the wheelchair weekly to different countries. Different countries and different airlines has different rules. Some wants you to take out the battery, and they might even tape the connection part. Not all the airline will ask, but the airline rules says you can hand carry 2 pcs of 160W batteries to the cabin. Well, please just tell them that the battery is 24V 6A (which makes it 144W) and print yourself a nice label, stick on the battery. Most of the airlines will just tell you to check-in the wheelchair without talking about the battery issue. Some will allow you to drive all the way to the plane gate and they will take it away from you just like a baby stroller. But we must avoid them from pulling the battery handle bar, as that will damage the battery socket at the other end. So I would suggest check-in the wheelchair at the check-in counter, and they normally take very good care of wheelchairs.

Absolutely. Aviation batteries are not advised but you will really like it in your application.

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.

The issue is batteries. The UPS site has good information. Here's what they say: New International Lithium Battery Regulations The regulations applicable to international air shipments of lithium batteries have changed. Compliance with the new regulations became mandatory January 1, 2013. Refer to the International Lithium Battery Regulations for more details. International Lithium Battery Regulations Back to Top Types of Batteries There are many kinds of batteries available today and several are regulated as hazardous materials in transportation that may only be shipped by contract hazmat shippers. Lead-acid batteries: Common in cars, electric wheelchairs, some continuous computer power sources, and other applications. These batteries contain highly corrosive acid and can cause fires from short circuits. Tested, proven non-spillable batteries are allowed to be shipped as non-hazardous within the U.S. Batteries and packagings must be marked "NONSPILLABLE" or "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY". Lithium and lithium ion batteries: Both rechargeable or non-rechargeable power sources, common in computers, cell phones, cameras, and other small electronic devices. If dropped, crushed, or short-circuited, these batteries can release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires. Special regulations apply to shipping these batteries. Shipments requiring hazardous materials shipping papers are accepted from contract hazmat shippers only, and certain lithium batteries may not qualify for UPS service. Other Batteries: Although common dry cell (e.g., AA, C, D batteries) may not be regulated as hazardous materials, all batteries can cause fires from short circuits if batteries and terminals are not protected. However, effective January 2010, packages containing dry cell batteries of more than 9 volts must be marked "not restricted."
