    Still ok?the light is obviously ok, and The battery’s aren’t seperate they are in a hard shell enclosed/sealed/waterproof casing

    Guessing they would be ok? Is it worth sticking a hazardous sticker on?

    Cheers

    Yes, sticker it up. If I send batteries anywhere (normally to smudge) now I put a duff light body in the package and label it as a bike light. No problems doing this yet..

    Cheers stevie, where did you get the sticker from? Just the post office, is a specific label I need to ask for?

    Drop me an email and I’ll send a proper label over tomorrow or Google “battery postage label”

    Cheers stevie looking at that they shouldn’t be even accepting batteries like hope ones ( even though they are wrapped and waterproofed etc?)

    I’ll razz you an email tomoz if that’s ok for the label you are using

    Cheers again

    Edit it actually says allowed when sent with a device, the device in this case being the light head unit guessing ?

    Yep, they got funny with just batteries but, with the label and a light body, no probs sending with RM.

    They normally have stickers at the post office. I would also argue that the glowworm batteries are devices inthemselves as they have LEDs on them.

    Why is it allowed if it has a head unit with it??
    Last one I posted I just said it was a children’s toy 😳

    Well I’m trying to send my Li-ion battery back to Hope but the PO would’t take it. Didn’t want to send the light unit because its just a battery repair, and in any case the lead has come away from the battery so I can’t connect…. Anyone know of another delivery service that would take it?
