Flying with eBike

[waldemar]

I'm in the process of converting our Swissbike LX's (aka Montague) to eBikes via the Bionx system. Does anyone have experience regarding flying with LiMn or similar batteries? Are the TSR folks flipping out over these, or is it a matter of just not advertising that you have Li-whatever batteries?

Thanks!

might be of help?
"Lithium ion batteries are the rechargeable batteries used in computers, cell phones, and other devices. "Larger" lithium ion batteries are rated between 100 and 300 watt-hours (8-25 g equivalent lithium content, or ELC.) Examples of these larger lithium ion batteries are pictured in the box below"

Might consider the NIMH pack?
