British Airways and lipo's

[JeremyE]

Has anyone flown internationally with Turnigy Lipo';s? I';m flying BA soon and was just wondering if there';s anything extra that I need to do besides:

- storage voltage
- tape all tabs
- put them in individual ziplock bags
- put them in Lipo Bag

I want to take:

2x 3s 1400mah
2x 1s 600mah
3x 1s 200mah
1x 3s 1500mah LiFe

Any suggestions?

I took 12 4s packs to the Spain, did all you said apart from the individual sealed bags. just put them in my carry on.

I have flown with easy jet and Monarch.

but if in doubt call the airline

You';ll be fine with the lipos you';ve listed.
Just have a pdf print out of the airlines rules on batteries, as not all xray/ security staff will know or remember what is allowed without sometimes calling their supervisor for help. 

Protect the lipos from being dented /damaged or crushed while in transportation and also by ignorant faggots shoving their bags into or onto yours in the overhead locker.

BA restricts you to 4 spare lipos in addition to the normal conditions of carriage.

the 3s and 2s can be wrapped in brown parcel tape and sewn into your baggage siding.

the 1s can be put in condoms and swallowed.

hope that help

I can almost imagine it on next weeks episode of "border security"

"could you step this way please maam, we';d like to conduct a body search as we believe you to carrying items internally"

two hours later

"ok ma';am we';d like to give you an opportunity to come clean, after we conducted our search we found 27 small packages wrapped in condoms that we';ve identified as 1s lipo batteries and 4 further larger packages our experts have confirmed as Electronic speed controllers..... however our main concern is the 600mm Talon Hex frame and how the feck you got it up there fully built?"
