Hey all, could I get some kind of website saying it's safe to take dry cell batteries onto airplanes?

Because wet cell batteries used to explode, so some pilots won't let wheelchairs on. So I need some kind of article saying dry cells are safe.

Thanks.

Thanks, I hunted it down on the FAA website.


Did you know you can bring small arms ammunition onto airplanes?

Edit: Eve Online beat me to it.

Yes, as long as they are in your checked luggage - not in your carryon.

Not as much of a hazard as you might believe. A Bic disposable lighter is more dangerous than an unchambered cartridge.
