Erik You are correct that you may get into some difficulty with batteries as carry-on. the way I have done it for several years is to put the batteries in my hard box that is checked and pad them very well. I have even put a battery in my light canister and padded it well but admittedly that is risky to the canister. Sam Frushour On Mon, 20 Mar 2000, Erik C.
