Hi all Flew back from Florida beginning of this month. Had the same problem with my battery pack. They just asked me for the supervisor of the Flight to come and sign for it. Was no problem. Went to her explained it is part of a light. She then just send and junior to go and sign and collect it. They returned it to me before the took of. Strange, It seems this is a norm at Miami since I had no problems boarding with the battery in South Africa.

Once last year security stopped my son and I from boarding with a couple of Spectrum 14's. We were taken back to the main terminal where the Mexicana manager looked up the regulations regarding batteries then forcefully argued with the security superintendent to allow us onboard. He was great and held the plane during all of this, about 30 minutes in all. Security finally stood down and off we went. Because of that incident I now pack the battery and canister in my checked luggage and carry-on the lighthead. If you ever do check your canister, do not attach or secure the lid as they will crack in a unpressurized hold-not that it's ever happened to me!
