Can I take my GTR2 /Stoke 2 on a plane?Updated 2 years ago
The majority of airlines state that you can travel onboard an aeroplane with a lithium-ion battery between 100 - 160wh.
Our GTR Series 2 Standard Battery (14Ah / 504wh) cannot be taken onto any plane due to its large size.
Our GTR Bamboo Series 2 / Stoke Series 2 Travel Battery (4Ah / 144wh) can be taken onto a plane with airline approval prior to boarding. The GTR Carbon Series 2 Travel Battery is not available as yet.
Follow these points to ensure you have a simple and safe journey:
- Every airline has its own policies. Ensure you confirm that your airline accepts lithium-ion batteries before booking your flights. Then, notify the airline during check-in (or in advance) that you have spare batteries in your possession.
- Disassemble the travel battery from your board and store it in your carry-on luggage. Most airlines require the exposed plugs to be covered with a piece of tape (be sure not to take the tape roll on board).
- Store the rest of your board with your check-in luggage. (Tip! Travel with the original box if you don't have a suitable bag)
- All the technical information you need to travel is on the battery itself.
- You can carry a maximum of 2 travel batteries per person.
