Not helicopters i know...but thought some aviator types should/might know anyway..
Can you take batteries on a plane, in checked luggage, NOT carry on....rechargeable batteries, both types, the little energizer ones with plug in socket recharger and the larger remote control car NiMh/nicad type ?
If you can, any special requirements, can do at checkin, have to notify anyone first etc ?

Re: Batteries on a plane
Nawty, it depends on the carrier, there are limits. I'll find the link, but Virgin for example prefer to carry on, not checked and only one pair of spares.
Batteries are best carried in an electronic item where there is less chance of them shorting out.
I'll pull out the DG sheet and attach it shortly.

But there is a specific sheet I'm looking for.

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
