Thanks for what you found.
I just enjoy finding (hopefully) accurate answers. Back before 9/11, I was planning a trip way back into the Ugandan 'bush' and wanted to take a small motorcycle gel-cell battery to recharge my camcorder batteries. After a lot of digging (this was in 1994 or 95, IIRC) I learned that yes, gel-cell batteries were available WITH an FAA approval number.
Voila`! I was able to fly without difficulties.
