In need of some info on flying with a sonar

[snowscum]

On getting my Marcum Lx7 on the airplane to Minnesota at the end of January. Has anyone had any problems or can you even put it in your checked luggage? The
TSA site says:

Most batteries for consumer electronics are allowed in cary-on luggage. Dry cell alkaline batteries, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel Cadmium (NiCad); typical AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt, button sized, ect. (both single use and rechargeable varieties) are allowed.

Marcum says its a rechargeable 12-volt 9-amp battery. Not sure if it falls into their category for "Most batterys". You guys have any info?

If I cant can you guys suggest a place I could rent a sonar around Alexandria?

Thanks in advance.

Message them like they say here with a picture and desctiption. They will get back to you pretty quick.

Thanks for the extra info H20. I noticed searching for battery this came up.

Non-Spillable Wet Batteries

Carry On Bags: Yes (Special Instructions)
Checked Bags: Yes
No more than two spare non-spillable wet batteries are allowed as long as each battery does not exceed 12 volts and 100 watt hours.

I would think I am ok with that statement. Not sure on the watt hours of these batteries though. I wonder if they can even tell the difference.
