Default Transporting Batteries on Airline

Hi All,

With the impending World Champs in the USA I thought it would be good to start this post.

According to 2011 IATA guidelines their are now serious restrictions to carrying lithium batteries on Passanger Airlines and indeed cargo. Just wondering if others have seen this and what is their solution to getting their battery packs to Muncie?

In gerneral the guidelines are saying no batteries in checked in luggage and only 100Wh allowed in carry on baggage per person which is techincally one 5 S pack.

See Link: http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/d...-Batt_2011.pdf

Would be interested to here the views and if FAI have any exemption or soultion for this which is a massive restriction on our sport.
