Hi guys,
With the crazy amount of batteries lithium-ion these days (telephone, tablet, cameras,...), I want to be all square and have a doc ready in case of trouble in the airport as I want to travel with my Phantom 3.
IATA splits Lithium Batteries in 3 categories
1- <100Wh
2- In between
3- >600Wh
1: usually inside the equipment the batterie can go in checked or hand luggage. As spares, there is a limit of 20 sometimes and can only go in hand luggage.
2: same as 1 but usually the limit of spares is 2
3: forbidden unless very specific (disable chair)
So I now have a database of all batteries I am travelling with, just in case I encounter issues.
As an example, the battery of the aircraft is:
4480 MAh / 15.2V / 4.48*15.2=68Wh, category 1
For the remote controller, I cannot find the full spec, or I do not understand it, can you help?
Ok it is 6000 mAh, but online I can read "working voltage" 1.2 A @ 7.4V. What does this mean? How do I calculate the Watt Hours from this?
Thanks!
