I've brought the 3 Ah ones on aircraft multiple times and had no issues. I brought a copy of the UN safety certification that I got from the battery company but have never been asked for it.
The batteries did save me from having my bag checked once though. I put my bag in the overhead. Someone else came by and moved my bag trying to get theirs in the overhead and the overhead would not close. The flight attendant, not knowing what happened wanted to check my bag. I stated it had lithium batteries in it and she checked the bag belonging to the person that moved my bag. I didn't have to argue at all. Karma! LiFePO4 batteries are also safer than other Lithiums, but they seem to be treated the same by the airlines and shipping companies. 73, Mark W7MLG On Mon, Jun 24, 2019 at 7:23 PM Eric - Gmail <ericrosenberg...@gmail.com> wrote: > The FAA rules on taking batteries on airplanes can be found in the > document "Batteries Carried by Airline Passengers: Frequently Asked > Questions" at > > www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/Airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf > > will allow you to take a battery as large as 160Wh.
