Flying with DNA timing gates (UNO, DUO, NEO)

Airlines sometimes ask about the lithium-ion cells inside timing gates. This page gives you the figures to show them. Rules differ between airlines and countries, so check with yours before you fly.

The figures for DNA gates (UNO, DUO and NEO)

Cells	Lithium-ion, installed inside each gate and not removable
Rating per gate	3.7 V, 6 Ah, which is 22.2 Wh
A 2-gate system	2 gates of 22.2 Wh each (44.4 Wh in total)
A 4-gate system	4 gates of 22.2 Wh each (88.8 Wh in total)

What that means at check-in

• Most airlines treat lithium-ion cells under 100 Wh, installed in the device, like those in a laptop or camera. At 22.2 Wh, each gate is well under that.
• Cells between 100 and 160 Wh usually need the airline's approval, and cells over 160 Wh generally travel as dangerous goods. Neither applies to a single gate.
• Switch every gate off before packing, and pack them in their case so they cannot be crushed or switched on in transit.
• If you are asked, show this page or print it.
