Air Transport Compliance for Seestar S50 Battery

encitar

Hello,

I am planning to travel by plane with my ZWO Seestar S50 telescope and would like to confirm whether it is fully compliant with international aviation regulations concerning lithium batteries.

Could you please confirm:

The exact Watt-hour (Wh) capacity of the built-in lithium-ion battery.

Whether the Seestar S50 can be safely transported in carry-on baggage, in accordance with IATA/ICAO rules.

If there are any restrictions or special procedures when checking the device in the hold (e.g., battery removal requirements).

Thank you for your assistance.

Seestar S50 is equipped with a built-in lithium battery with a capacity of 22Wh, which complies with the standards set by the Civil Aviation Administration for air transportation. Based on our experience, it can be carried in your luggage. However, if you plan to check it in as baggage, some airlines may require the battery to be removed from the device. We recommend checking with the specific airline you are traveling with to ensure compliance with their lithium batteries regulations.
