Air travel restrictions for Dionic battery models
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Up to three Dionic HCX batteries can be carried on an aircraft, consisting of two loose units and one installed on equipment
- Only one Dionic HCX battery can be checked as baggage, and it must be attached to a piece of equipment
- Dionic 90 and Dionic HC batteries have no carry-on quantity limit but only one can be checked, and it must be attached to equipment
- Dionic 160 batteries are prohibited from air travel entirely
- These air travel battery restrictions apply to North America
- IATA guidelines for air travel batteries state the same general rules but allow individual airlines to impose stricter limits at their discretion
Depends on
- Information is specific to North America; rules for Europe and international travel may differ
- Individual airlines retain authority to further restrict battery carriage beyond IATA guidelines
- The discussion predates current aviation regulations and may not reflect present-day rules
