  Hi Ronnie, sorry I must have missed your inquiry on planes and
batteries. You have to call the airline that you intend to fly on. They
all have different requirements for batteries. Some require that they be
removed from the chair, places in special metal boxes. Others require
even if they are dry cell that they be removed and then cartoned up and
carried under your seat, some will allow you to keep a drycell on the
chair. So you have to call the air line you wish to travel and get their
protocol, also when you make your reservation make sure that you tell
them you are transporting a tricart or chair so they can make sure they
have room for your chair. The easiest and mostly accepted battery on the
whole to tranport by air is a gel cell or dry battery.  If you intend to
do a bit of air travel it's worth the investment.
