Re: A FLA to Lithium question for you engineers out there
I concur, a gaggle of cells.

Re: A FLA to Lithium question for you engineers out there
I didn't see if it has been discussed or not, but you are only allowed to bring lithium batteries under 100Wh, and in pre approved circumstances, 100-160Wh onto an airplane. And it must be in your carry on, not in a checked bag. At 36V, that's only about 4.5AH on capacity.

Quote:
According to the FAA: "With airline approval, devices can contain larger lithium ion batteries (101-160 watt hours per battery), but spares of this size are limited to two batteries in carry-on baggage only. This size covers the largest aftermarket extended-life laptop batteries and most lithium ion batteries for professional-grade audio/visual equipment." |

Re: A FLA to Lithium question for you engineers out there
I would think that there is leeway for medical/mobility devices.

Re: A FLA to Lithium question for you engineers out there
I’ve tried for years to have them view my EZ-GO as a medical device. Still…no luck!!

Re: A FLA to Lithium question for you engineers out there
The standards are set by the FAA, and they are pretty strict. The reason most mobility devices use FLA or SLA batteries is because they are approved to fly at with higher energy storages. 160Wh is not going to get you very far in a motorized wheel chair.

Re: A FLA to Lithium question for you engineers out there
My scooter WH is 216 (Gel-Cell) and I've never had any issues with an airline storing it in the cargo hold.
I can also attest you can put a lot of miles on this before it runs outta juice. Now, I'm not climbing trails or steep mountains, but after 6 or 7 miles on one of these, my body has had enough. |
