Peter I'll decline to answer your question re lasers, as I am sure others are more knowledgeable than I am. In answer to your question about batteries, I answered a similar question last week. The reply was:- Lithium batteries may be shipped installed in product. The UN No. is 3091. IATA regulations apply Packing Instruction 912, which states:- "The General Packing Requirements of 5.0.2 must be met. Lithium batteries (liquid or solid cathode) contained in equipment must meet all the requirements of Packing Instruction 903 other than those relating to packaging, be protected against short circuits and be securely held in place. Cells must not be capable of being discharged during transport to the extent that the open circuit voltage is less than the lower of: (a) 2 Volts; or (b) 2/3 of the voltage of the undischarged cell. Equipment containing lithium batteries must be contained in strong outer packaging. The outer packaging must be waterproof or made waterproof through the use of a liner, such as a plastic bag, unless the equipment is made waterproof by nature of its construction. the equipmenmt must be secured against movement within the outer packaging and be packed so as to prevent accidental operation during air transport. The quantity of lithium metal contained in any piece of equipment must not exceed 12g per cell and 500g per battery. Not more than 5kg of lithium batteries may be contained in any piece of equipment."

And are there similar requirements for EU and USA ? b) Re. Li-Po batteries shipped inside equipment (internal) i wonder if IATA regulations or others sets a maximum level of charge on such batteries when shipped from factory. I.e. may a Li-Po battery be fully charged while shipping inside equipment ? Thanks and have a nice day, Peter Weichel Denmark ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
