Well, we know some online hobby shops do ship individual pieces of lipo through the air, but from regulatory point of view...

Lithium batteries, whether ion or polymer, are classified "Dangerous Goods" by freight companies, example here:

Or just google "dangerous goods lithium polymer" to see the long list of references, even at IATA (International Air Transport Association) website... good info.

It means that you have to declare the items, and there are regulations governing proper packaging. Usually done for shipping in bulk and taken care of by the freight company.

So, summary is: Don't Try, for your safety and others in the worst case.

That's why I qualify my answer by saying, well, here are the regulations.

Maybe for small quantities, there is less concern.

And as we know, you can even bring on board the aircraft as carry-on: your laptop, portable media devices, handphone (as long as not switched on during flight)... and all these devices are packed with lithium ion batteries.

To conclude.. I better declare it.. Charge it on storage voltage.. Bring 2pcs only so less question from them... U think this thing will work guys?
