Has anyone recently flew on a plane with their BR2? Needing to travel soon with mine and am concerned TSA will not allow the batteries onboard. I know they cannot go in my checked baggage but I’m concerned they will not allow them on my carryon bag either. ---

Hi @aighost, welcome to the forum 🙂 I’m not US-based, but the [TSA website](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/lithium-batteries-more-100-watt-hours) specifies that > [@TSA - Lithium batteries with more than 100 watt hours](#): > > With airline approval, passengers may also carry **up to two** spare larger lithium ion batteries ( **101–160 Wh** ) … Our **(rectangular) [Lithium Polymer Battery](https://bluerobotics.com/store/comm-control-power/powersupplies-batteries/battery-lp-4s-10ah/) is within that limit**, but our larger **(cylindrical) Lithium-ion Battery options are not** (in either the [white](https://bluerobotics.com/store/comm-control-power/powersupplies-batteries/battery-li-4s-15-6ah/) or [black](https://bluerobotics.com/store/comm-control-power/powersupplies-batteries/battery-li-4s-18ah-r3/) variants). I assume the larger batteries would need to be shipped separately via a hazardous shipping service or something, and same for more than two of our Lithium polymer batteries per passenger, but I’ve asked internally whether we have some more definitive guidance on that. ---

Following up, as far as we’re aware hazardous shipping is the only legal way we’re aware of for shipping the larger batteries, or large quantities of the smaller ones. ---

Will the smaller batteries double up in the battery compartment? If not, could BR look at creating smaller batteries that would double up in the battery compartment for travel? ---

Hi @3dMB - Blue Robotics does have long-term plans to offer a battery that can be broken down for travel and shipping. Two of the smaller batteries do not fit in the battery compartment. While technically higher capacity than the TSA allows, I’ve found that removing the battery from your carry-on baggage when going through security often results in no issues, but your experience may vary by airport and time of year!
