It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Ooo, got a link? I mean, to the travel batteries.

It's going to take TSA a while to catch up, but there's a capacity limit of 20KAh for carry-on batteries. There should be no restriction for solid state ones, although convincing an agent of that seems futile. But if they become common enough, maybe they'll change the rules.

I have no personal experience with them yet (I still have a few newish lithium ones that are more than enough to keep my family's stuff charged for days) but https://kuxiu.co/products/kuxiu-s2-power-bank

If you search for them there might be other ones as well; I don't think the one I posted was even the one I was thinking of but I can't remember where I originally saw it

This is part of why I've been holding off on buying a new ebike: If they make something that has a solid stat battery and belt drive, I'm definitely going to pull the trigger, but for now I'm still riding a budget ebike and saving my money for when they finally come out with an ebike that DGAF about the cold.
