>I once had occasion to ship a battery from a Golf cart . It was being
>shipped as luggage from Denver Co. I checked three times with the
>airline that it was acceptable and the label on the battery indicated it
>was acceptable for airline shipping under such and such a statute.
>
>Arriving at the airline I was told in no uncertain terms the battery
>could not be shipped and after some discussion, they produced a box
>shaped like a small house that clearly stated the contents as being a
>battery and it contained hazardous material. I was also informed it was
>up to the pilot to accept it.
>
>The battery never arrived. I made a claim for it and it cost the airline
>over $200 to replace the battery yet the battery company stated they had
>received approval to ship them. I guess these regulations fluctuate-
>pretty soon solar panels will be banned if exposed to sunlight.
