How are people posting batteries within the UK?
From what Ive read no UK delivery service will take a 100wh+ battery that is not with or connected to its device (i.e the bike)
In some cases if they find a 100wh+ battery in the delivery network that is not with or attached to its device they will dispose of the battery and offer no refund
So how are people and shops who sell Levo batteries getting them to buyers without running the risk of the battery being destroyed by the delivery company?
Spoke Graham@Trailwatts who basically confirmed the above
My concern is
1. that the battery could be disposed of if found and no compensation given as it a banned item
2. That in the unlikely event that the battery gets damaged or even worse could catch fire (everyone's seen the state some parcels arrive in) i would have no leg to stand on in a compensation claim or even worse if it did catch fire it could destroy the delivery plane/truck/van it was in and you could be open to criminal charges (imagine if your battery bought a plane down killing the crew!!! a quick Google search and its happened quite a few times!)
