Transport-ing li- batteries

[Mr Gus]

Hard to know where to stick anything on ever versatile batteries these days..
This is a battery bag to tie in with transporting them (trouble free).

I've understood that fibreglass mesh is a favoured pliable product for partial construction of li-battery bags.. & suddenly found (despite previous searches this dutch company) ,,for pouches / glove sets which "appear" to have EASA & FAA flammability standard ccertification standard CS 25.853. ..which may or may not hold water as to acceptable walk ons with pre-booked & checked batteries (joe, bike batteries etc)

Bag designed for 750 watt hour ebike battery & fire video.. (at 50% charge mark for test)

Of course this isn't the only hurdle to overcome but may be a start as to pre-booking & being able to transport legally bigger batteries.

It is worth noting that NMC batteries found in phones, vapes, laptops, ebikes, etc., can catch fire in the event of a fault. However LiFePO4 batteries that we talk about on here cannot catch fire.

I still can’t think of a purpose for the product linked though. Who exactly is going to put their laptop in a fireproof bag every night? And the batteries don’t generally catch fire spontaneously, it is usually a result of physical damage or manufacturing error and manifests itself while the device is in-use, when it wouldn’t be in the bag anyway.

I agree with you stinsy.

Airlines etc are a different kettle of fish to deal with, let alone the personnel with maybe a vague (at best) understanding of chemistry, fire risk ..blah blah, ...I can't buy more than 2 boxes of paracetamol at a time, a dose that can kill you, but the 2 box limit is there to make sure it can't !?

Safety logic (or lack thereof) should not be questioned by the likes of us proles.

Average size person, 19 tablets if they stay in your system.
16 per box =32 tablets.
1 box plus 3 then.

Yet still they stopped the manufacturers making the larger boxes of 50-100 we used to be able to buy, because....safety
Unless its by prescription.

(you can still buy massive quantities from a wholesaler without , ...so shop owners are clearly never suicidal)

So, depending on sweet talking airline security and staff, you might be able to walk a bigger than allowed bargain battery pack onto a plane, ..nah, but if things do change this will be something you buy or hire & post back.

Fear of battery fire won't go away.

Vapes .. the new terror at 30,000 feet battery of uncertain origin, battery ditto, + ignition source.
