Hello,

if you gonna travel by plane with your electronic device this could help:
If your gear has a battery you have to know the type + power of it.
For ex. MPC Live 2: Li Cell 14.8V 3350mAh / 50Wh Akku 4S 18650
You should know the battery power limit of the airline. For ex. EasyJet 100Wh
Up to this limit you have to transport it as hand luggage.
If you transport it in a suitcase, they will probably not ask for it (at the gate).
If you transport it in a case that looks likt a case for electronic device, they probably will.

I have been travelling - by plane - with my Live 2 since I bought it years ago. I've probably flown 40 times with it, to date, and always bring it on board in my carry-on. It goes through security with the bag open so the TSA can see it. I've never once been asked about the battery. :nod:
