For example, check out the number of fake batteries on Amazon (or the fake memory cards). There's somewhat of a cottage industry in China devoted to making fake products; while no one cares about fake watches, not having a pedigree for a critical usage battery is certainly going to result in a blanket ban of any lithium batteries on airplanes.

Mono Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) For 99% percent of the applications of batteries the limitation is costs or weight, not invincibility. The chance that we will see non-standard (expensive) battery packs build into EUCs in any near future is close to zero. Sorry for the bad news.

soundkite Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Only if new EUCs have some sort of label which TSA might accept as proof that you don't have an older battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
