Hi all,

I'm traveling to Mexico next week (I'm based in london), as part of my kit I will be taking a portable battery powered flash head. The battery is a Lithuim ion type, the flash output is rated at 600 ws.

My question is has anyone experienced any problems in taking a battery of this kind in the aircraft cabin as part of hand baggage?

I intend to remove the battery from the flash and place it in a plastic bag with tape over the terminals to be absolutely sure that it cannot short in any way.

Thanks!

Danny.
