Good video Ray! I remember how stressful it was traveling with lipo's the first time. Especial since the airline policy at that time was "a reasonable amount" In my mind 12 was , but thats not always the case. Pro tip: have the FAA and Airline policy as a hard copy with the lipo's or on your phone. Not all employees are aware of their own latest policy at al times.
I just had a look at the Requerments for Australia & it look like you can carry up to 20 batteries under 100Wh's, so there is some restrictions but not too bad. But like yiu were saying Do your home work before flying.
There is a special pelican box now that has a cool foam that will contain the lithium fire and not let it escape the product is called cellblock FCS i had them make me a case for transport lithium cells for my model trains.
Lipo safe bags are at best a brief (very brief) way to keep a battery contained until you can get it outside. But yeah, if you kept them in the original box and then put the box in a bag, you'd be golden.
@@ray9368 that is what we in tht RC community is recomending to use lipo safety bags for transportation and it is mandatory to use during competitions as it already had been incidents with burning lipos in the pits during charging.
There are currently no plans for that. It would take an unusual set of circumstances for that to happen, so although I don't want to say never, I'd say it's unlikely. It had its day, and if I decided to build an upper tier level heavy for Robogames, I would explore one of the many other ideas in my head.
