Travel & Storage
The easiest way to pack your DPV for travel is by separating the cylinder body from the tail. After removing the nose cone, pull firmly on the cylinder to detach it.
One tip is to pull the body at an angle to more easily break the connection. After separating the cylinder from the tail, carefully disconnect the three wire
connections before doing anything else.
Now that you've gotten your DPV disassembled, it can be packed for travel! Make sure to protect the tail unit and propeller area from damage, and the body can
be stored with the nose cone either on or off. We recommend storing your BlackTip in a checked bag, as carry-on size and weight restrictions can vary airline to
airline.
Your power tool batteries are also safe for travel! While the TSA does not allow loose lithium batteries in checked baggage, they can be
safely stored in your carry-on bags by following these protocols. First, make sure your battery ports are protected from contact with other
conductive materials, as this can cause a short and create a fire hazard. This can be done by covering each of the battery terminals with
tape, sealing your batteries in a plastic bag, or simply leaving the batteries in their original packaging. Secondly, if you plan on traveling
with larger capacity batteries like the FlexVolt, make sure to attach the batteries' included travel clip to keep the battery cells separated
during travel.
Finally, even after following all these guidelines, the final decision will always come down to the TSA agents and the airline you'll be
traveling with. We recommend checking your airline's battery and carry-on policies before you travel and taking every precaution when
packing your scooter. Safe travels!
