You never know what you will run into with the TSA agents, so the advice about batteries might be a good idea.
That said, there is no requirement by the TSA or FAA in the US to have batteries not fully charged. The only requirement is that they be carried on (not in checked luggage) be less than 100 watt hours and be protected from shorting. I 3d printed battery caps for the purpose of shorting protection, but having them in a tight compartment in your bag (individual), in a battery bag, or probably even their own zip lock bag is fine. You just can't have a bunch of loose batteries rolling around a bag together.
I know it's not required, I'm just passing along my experience.
with that being said, just imagine if they were fully charged would
I may have not been able to take toy batteries or what would have been their response.
It happen so just be aware you may get that one super TSA agent that just might
be having a bad day. You just never know. |
