Is this product marked on the back as a battery - I have heard some airports will confiscate units not clearly marked as a battery or portable charger

Actually yes, the back says "Li-polymer Battery" so you should be okit is so perfect!

I have had no issue carrying this product in my carry on luggage. The back of the unit says Zoom Power Bank - advanced supercharge Li-polymer battery

It is a sealed battery, but not as described by the seller. It is actually a low grade gel cell battery. The charger works fine. If you get this or one like it I'd suggest some type of protective lubricant on the terminals. I used near salt water and noticed corrosion starting right away--that is typical of salt water & metallic items. Putting it in a battery box probably not required, just be aware it will be exposed to the elements. Good luck.

Need more info to be able to answer this question. Who did you purchase it from? Was it used? Also did you look at the back of the Styrofoam after unboxing the heli? The charger is usually there.

Yes... not sure why it's not shown. The cord powers the base/cleaning unit and can be plugged directly into the shaver when traveling. Also not shown is the travel case, a very form-fitting item that carries the razor and a cleaning brush but not the cord. The razor can go about a week between charges so you may not need to carry the cord

Single battery. When and if u fly make sure the extra batteries are in ur carry on. If in checked baggage they will confiscated the batteries as dangerous cargo.

It comes complete with battery and charger. The canvas bag has several pockets to take all components with you.I used it on a Canadian Fly-In fishing trip and it worked perfectly. I carried it on the airplane each way, went thru security with no hassles. TSA just inspects with no issues. I have had no regrets!

It's a sealed unit, that must have a pretty custom battery to be so flat. Probably would be hard to find even if you could get access. I would suspect battery life will degrade slowly over a long time.

There's definitely a builtin, rechargeable battery yes. That said, it doesn't seem to charge via USB - i.e. when I plug it into my laptop to copy files onto it, it can't get its power via the USB connection, nor will the battery charge if left plugged into the laptop for a long time. It seems like it'll charge only via the AC adapter.

Here is a link to the FAA publication regarding the use of battery-powered devices on commercial flights: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/faa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf. As you can see, there is absolutely NO prohibition to the lithium battery (CR123) that the MiniMate GT ships with. As many of our MiniMate GT owners have switched over to a rechargeable battery system, we wanted to point out that the FAA article also permits the use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Of course, individual airlines may establish their own, more prohibitive policies if they wish. We have been selling this product for approximately 3 years and have encountered only 2-3 reports of individual airline prohibitions--all of which have been on United Airline flights. We are confident that this product meets the FAA Standards based on US DOT regulations (49 CFR, Sec. 175.10). Thank you very much for your Feedback. Most gratefully, Customer Service Team The Green Giraffe

I haven't gone walking with it...assume you would hold in your hand or put in a big pocket or cinch bag or backpack since there is not a clip. I have been using mine on airplanes and setting it in my lap. I still recommend this as a quality product. If the other answer states it stop working after 1 month I would think it could be the recharable batteries. They last about 4-5 hours on each complete charge and will weaken even when not in use. So make sure they are fully charged before you intend to use them.

I was also hoping to keep a spare battery on hand. Looks like it's a permanent battery. Two issues bad about that is: you can NOT charge one while the other is in use and once the battery no longer holds a charge, the unit is useless. Did I miss this information (permanent battery not replaceable) somewhere in the product description?

The battery is built-in. It lasts an insanely long amount of time. I fly with it weekly for several hours per flight. I only need to charge it once a week or every other week. Charges via USB cable.

So far so good with the battery life and still running strong since the September 14th purchase. However, on the back of the unit, it states...(USES AC ADAPTER MODEL UE08WCP-060100SPA only). This may be an adapter/converter; there is certainly a place on the side to plug something in; it says (DC 6V); you may want to research it some before you purchase. Please know I still remain very pleased with this Ozeri Product.

My take on that statement was that it is a translation anomaly. I have recharged mine numerous times without incident, and I feel the intent was to not charge the battery in an enclosed space.

Yes, I have charged two extra batteries to take on a trip with me and know if I'm out all day and night, I won't run out of charge. I also bought an Anker brand USB portable battery charger from Amazon for my Color Nook and Android phone (takes a while to charge either if they are really low). This travels in my purse and can be used on a long air flight!

As a previous responder noted, it is UL listed and the designation is noted on the front of the box and the charger itself. Continue to be very pleased with this product.
