I just sold a package including a 1DX with two batteries, a Canon 100-400, and a 2x teleconverter. I am unsure how to properly handle the 1DX batteries, as well as the charger. What do you guys do?
Thanks!

Thanks! the issue is the great heat generated when the terminals of a lithium ion battery are shorted together. You could put electrical tape across the terminals of the batteries, so the terminals cannot be shorted together accidentally during transit. Or put on the battery cover provided with the battery when new, and rubber band the cover to the battery so it will not dislodge during transit. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

Jun 22, 2021 18:20 | #3 I recently shipped a camera to another state via UPS. The clerk asked me about the battery. I told him one battery was installed in the camera, the other loose, but with the protective cap on. He said that was acceptable. But I was shipping ground, not by air. When you see my camera gear you'll think I'm a pro.

I don't understand what happened here. . Who blacklisted the link that Team Speed posted, and why did they blacklist it? . Very strange...I quoted TeamSpeed's post to see if his link would appear, and it appears to be the same link as included in my post! You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
