Can I take my wheelchair, scooter or other equipment that is powered by a DYNASTY VRLA battery with me on the passenger airplane and cruise ship?
There should be no problem if the battery is of the absorbed glass mat (AGM) type – this includes the TEL, UPS, MPS and DCS series. These series of DYNASTY VRLA batteries are classified as “Battery, wet non-spillable, not subject to regulations” by DOT and IMO. By IATA they are classified as “Not restricted for air transport” and they are in compliance with IATA/ICAO special provision A67. However, it must be remembered that the carrier may have more restrictive policies and they should be contacted prior to scheduling and ticketing. Also, be aware that the “Captain” has the final word on items carried on the aircraft/ship. The gelled electrolyte DYNASTY VRLA batteries (GC and BBG series) are not judged to be in compliance with IATA/ICAO special provision A67. It is not recommended that they be shipped by “air”. The gelled electrolyte batteries are classified as “Battery, wet, filled with acid, UN2794, Class 8”. They must be treated in transportation as though they were “wet” batteries
