Halcyon batteries and flying
I have a mate who has a Halcyon HID torch and lead acid battery.

Does anyone know if these batteries are gel or wet cell?

And has anyone had problems taking these on planes in checked baggage.

Need an answer quite quickly,

Cheers,
Daz

I got a (can't remeber the proper name), form from Yuasa (Newport, I think).

This seemed to satisfy them when I flew with mine, and I think my friends light had Panasonic batteries, but customs were fine with that.

I'd suggest finding the make of the batteries and getting in touch with the UK distributor, they can then supply you with a data sheet that the airlines usually accept.
It's a single page thing, so they can fax it to you or send you a .pdf.

I put my Halcyon lead acid torch in hand luggage they havent bothered me about it yet. I usualy get the swab test as most of my hand luggage looks like it can go bang.
