I am flying AirAlaska up north and plan to take some Milwaukee 18v Lithium battery power tools on a one way trip.
Originally my plan was to purchase and have the tools delivered to my PO Box in Alaska, but no one would ship lithium batteries to AK.
I went on AirAlaska and TSA websites and they say as long as the battery is installed you can put in Checked Baggage.
But i am a bit nervous because in real life i have found that sometimes airline websites and TSA guidance is not adhered to by folks on the ground.
My question is do any of you guys fly with tools that have lithium batteries?
Has it ever been a problem?
As you can see i plan to take several (10). I have two other guys traveling with me and can cross level them in multiple bags if needed
Do you have advice?
