Definitely disconnect your "gell cell" batteries and have someone at the other end to reconnect them. I -we flew across the country 3 times. I have to say that it was a big hassle for us. Fortunately, my chairs didn't end up somewhere else but what we did was keep the manual back for transferring and the attendants helped with getting my power chair ready to stow. Disconnecting the batteries wasn't enough, they had to come out and be put in special boxes. I reserved the 1st seat in coach because my manual didn't fit any further. My husband would transfer me to the seat and someone would take the manual away to be stowed. We did keep the cushion with us. I was 1st to get on and last to get off. I always felt sorry for the people behind us while they had to wait for all that transferring but on the other hand, it was embarrassing as 'I' was the hold up. But we made it without losing the chairs. These trips were before 9-11, I can't imagine what it would be like to fly now.
