1) Get a battery.
2) Write "TRAVEL ONLY" on some masking tape and apply to battery.
3) Dedicate a pocket in your bag for this battery.
4) Only remove the battery from the bag to charge it.
You can swap the battery out as they improve or after it wears out. You can also swap out bags for similar reasons.
This completely removes the class of problem of not being allowed to have it in your checked baggage since you can remove it.
- philipodonnell 9y agoI'm not saying this isn't a good idea, but my problem is that if I need a battery and can't find one, if a battery is remotely removable I will absolutely take it out instead of not having a charge (rational I think), and then I won't remember to put it back (on me). So "don't take it out and remember to put it back if you do" is sort of unhelpful in my case. :-)
- epicide 9y agoKeep a string around the battery that, upon removal from the bag, you tie it to your finger. Replace it on the battery when it's replaced in the bag. Also helps when you need to charge the battery.
