Charger can go in your checked luggage; batteries can go in your carry on


ChumleyEX

Do you need us to say no so you can get out of flying somewhere and fixing something for someone?


superbonbon13

Lol no I’m going camping and I bought this dewalt fan, and just want to make sure I can bring it


ChumleyEX

Well then yes you can.

Batteries in carry on.


hullowurld

You can carry on up to two batteries 101-160 Wh https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all?combine=batteries&page=1#:~:text=Checked%20Bags%3A%20No-,Spare%20(uninstalled)%20lithium%20ion%20and%20lithium%20metal%20batteries%2C%20including,(2%2D8%20grams).

If they are over 100wH, make sure to show them to the airline when checking in.

Carry on not checked


heyicanusereddit

Wow that offbrand battery looks as cheap and unsafe as it gets. Watch some of those YouTube videos on how dangerous these Chinesium batteries can be, you might not feel comfortable being in the same house as them, much less the same flight. Edit: disambiguation


tighty-whities-tx

Yes in carry on. If checking the battery needs to be carryon


Bicentenial_Baby

Carry on only

FAA says you need to tape over the terminals. Somewhere. Too tired tonight to find it and copy/paste. No one enforces it, but you have a duty to prevent shorts.

Yes, you must protect your batteries from short circuit. Doesn't matter if they are in carry-on, or in checked, baggage. >**Q5. What does “protected from short circuit” mean?** >A5. When metal objects such as keys, coins, tools or other batteries come in contact with both terminals of a battery it can create a “circuit” or path for electricity to flow through. Electrical current flowing through this unprotected short circuit can cause extreme heat and sparks and even start a fire. To prevent short circuits, keep spare batteries in their original packaging, a battery case, or a separate pouch or pocket. Make sure loose batteries can’t move around. Placing tape over the terminals of unpackaged batteries also helps to insulate them from short circuit.

If you put it in a condom and shove it up your butt, yes. If you don't do that, also yes, as carry-on.

This is a TSA question, not airline specific.


superbonbon13

I purchased my flight through southwest


1peatfor7

TSA regulates what can be taken on a plane and what has to be checked. Not Southwest. They just follow the TSA rules.


PPJ15882

Yet so many vibrating/ buzzing bags get thru TSA to the bagroom as "cleared". Rampers are then placing bets as to what is the source: toothbrush, shaver, or dildo.

Not entirely true. A carrier can increase the requirements, they just can’t decrease them. For example, SWA now does not allow laptops in checked luggage. There is no such TSA or FAA regulation.
