<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThroughout my travel experiences, I’ve utilized various airlines spanning different continents. Drawing from my encounters with numerous, possibly a dozen or more, airlines, including budget carriers, I’ll outline in bullet points the process for declaring an electric adapter and the regulations governing its acceptance for carriage on the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Conditions for taking an electric adapter onto an airplane<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nThe battery cannot be larger than 300 Wh or 2\u00d7160 Wh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n It must be a dry, removable battery – we take the battery with us on board, the attachment and the stroller go in the luggage hold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n It is crucial that the battery for the adapter has an IATA certificate, which is also in English, allowing for air transportation.\u00a0This makes the whole procedure easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n The entire size of the attachment (calculated without the stroller) must not exceed the maximum dimensions allowed by the airline. This should be checked directly with specific lines each time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Procedure for reporting the attachment<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nThe attachment is reported as a second stroller – this is not always necessary, but it won’t hurt<\/li>\n\n\n\n You need to contact the airline, sometimes via an online form, giving them the dimensions and weight of the adapter and the type of battery<\/li>\n\n\n\n At the airport, when checking in, it is worth having the IATA battery approval certificate with you<\/li>\n\n\n\n Both the stroller and the attachment receive a luggage sticker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt is also worth remembering the appropriate codes for the required assistance, which we wrote about in the article Help for Disabled People at the Airport.\u00a0Moreover, it is important that, according to aviation law, a person using a wheelchair has the right to reach the aircraft door using it, together with the attachment.\u00a0The following video covers more of these topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Electric starter on a train and on a ship<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nReporting the battery size is unnecessary, whether on a train or a ship. I’ve only come across size limitations, as seen on Italian railways. While there are no formal restrictions, it’s advisable to keep an eye on the battery. If any concerning issues arise, such as smoke or overheating, it’s crucial to promptly inform the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What factors should be considered when selecting an electric adapter for use during air travel and other journeys?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to the essential battery, it is beneficial to opt for a battery with air travel-approved capacity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n The electric attachment’s “airplane” battery should not exceed 300 Wh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Ideally, the adapter should feature a dry and detachable battery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n The connector dimensions must not surpass the specified limits set by airlines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Ensuring possession of an IATA certificate allowing air transport of the attachment is advisable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Reliability and functionality are crucial aspects of the equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Ease of attachment connection and disconnection is a desirable feature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n A compact turning radius is essential, given the attachment’s length, particularly in confined spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n A robust motor is important for the attachment to be versatile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n The drive system must align with our specific needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A growing number of individuals with disabilities, particularly those facing physical challenges, are engaging in travel.
