Airline Travel
IATA, USDOT and FAA regulations allow up to one
Li-ion battery of up to 300 Wh (Watt Hours) for "passengers
whose mobility is restricted by either disability, their health
or age, or a temporary mobility problem (e.g. broken leg)".
The Zinger battery is 240 Wh and marked with a label on
the outside of the case stating this.
To bring a collapsible mobility chair with a removable Li-
Ion battery on a plane:
•
You must notify the airlines in advance that you will be
bringing a Lithium Ion battery for a mobility device. They
are then required to notify your pilot of the location of the
battery in the aircraft. Thus you should notify your flight
attendant of it's location before takeo
ff .
•
You may check the chair without the battery in it.
HINT: Most airlines allow you to check the chair for free.
Depending on your airline, they may allow you to ride the
chair onto the aircraft being pushed by an assistant.
Check with your airlines in advance.
•
You must tape over the openings in the battery case
that lead to the terminals inside.
Always tell the baggage screener that you are carrying on
a Lithium Ion battery for a mobility device. And although
not required because it is already in a case, it is a good idea
to put the battery in a zip-lock bag to prevent any potential
delays at baggage screening.
The following is taken directly form the IATA (International
Air Transportation Association) handbook 54th Edition
section 2.3.2.4 subsection (d):
where a battery-powered wheelchair or other similar mobility aid is
specifically designed to allow its battery(ies) to be removed by the user
(e.g. collapsible):
1. the battery(ies) must be removed. The wheelchair/mobility aid may
then be carried as checked baggage without restriction;
2. the battery(ies) must be protected from short circuit by insulating the
terminals (e.g. by taping over exposed terminals);
3. the removed battery(ies) must be protected from damage (e.g.) by
placing each battery in a protective pouch.
4. The battery(ies) must be carried in the passenger cabin;
5. removal of the battery from the device must be performed by
following the instructions of the manufacturer or device owner;
6. the battery must not exceed 300 Wh;
a maximum of one spare battery not exceeding 300 Wh or two
spares each not exceeding 160 Wh may be carried.
NOTE: It's a good idea to Zip-Tie the frame shut if you're
going to check it on the plane.
Don't forget your Battery Lock Key and Charger when
you travel !!!
