Below is a guide to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for traveling with mobility scooters and lithium-ion batteries.

The FAA’s new interim rule on batteries is geared specifically to large shipments of lithium-ion batteries.

This does not affect individuals who wish to carry their lithium-ion mobility scooters or power wheelchairs on local and international flights.

This also does not affect Sealed Lead Acid or AGM batteries.

Click here to learn more about this new FAA regulation and the reasoning behind it.

All the Airline Approved Portable Travel Mobility Scooters that use a lithium-ion battery are rated at below 300 watt-hours. Along with the Airline Approved Portable Travel Powerchairs that has the same requirement.

Please contact us if you require a battery compliance certificate, we can supply this if you have purchased your scooter or power wheelchair from us.
