Can you post detector with Litium battery

Hello . l am thinking of selling a GP 3000 on ebay. l was wondering does the detector have a lithium battery. If so am l allowed to post it with Australia post? would it travel by air or land? l think l heard lithium batteries are not allowed to travel in air freight?

Hi Hotrock
The standard 3000 has a sealed lead acid(gel cell) dome shaped top battery,these are ok.If you have aftermarket battery setup it is most likely Lithium iron camera type batteries that slot in to a holder.You won't be able to send these by air.Some couriers may deliver in Aus I think.

Thanks so the big heavy battery isn't lithium but the small light ones could be. Would Australia post send a detector by air freight or land freight?

Send by normal parcel post and tell the post office it is hazzardous goods..... they will attach a sticker and it will travel by road.

DO NOT SEND "EXPRESS".......they go by air !!!!
