Regulations for traveling with LiPo battery in homemade electronic

score:1

Accepted answer

As per your query, the possible scenarios are,

  1. Carrying a LiPo battery in allowed only on carry-on luggage. Also, as you are working on some solar project, you need to provide the reason to have this battery.

  2. You should declare this in advance at each security stop. TSA guys will be more friendly if you could give them a valid reason to have this battery.

  3. I don't think they allow you to carry any experimental setup in carry-on luggage so you may need to detach your battery from rest of the setup and then carry it.

  4. Contact your Air Line in advance and clear this with them if they allow you carry it on board. Check if there are certain formalities.

PS: Do not hide any details or purpose of having a battery with you. Being an experimental setup, I guess the battery will look bit different than the regular one.

Hope this helps!
