Gday guys,
I am finding some conflicting details around domestic postage of lithium batteries.
Background; I am looking at selling a drone (DJI combo package) so drone + 3x batteries. I thought I would do some research on restrictions as the batteries are lithium. Aust post seem to say in their docs that you can only post 2x batteries (via air freight) however also seem to go on saying that if it is road freight there is no limit on battery quantity?
When posting with Aust post, they can’t guarantee how the package will get to its destination so that adds further confusion.
Obviously DJI post hundreds of drones around the country weekly? so I am after some feedback on how I should continue with this. Interested to hear from others that have done similar.
Cheers.

Lithium batteries can only be sent internationally (air or sea), or domestically by air if the battery or cell (maximum of two batteries or four individual cells) are installed in the device and meet all the packaging requirements.

What's the mah or what hour for each of those batteries?
5000mAh, 15.5v per battery
If not mistaken total battery should not be more than 26800mah, and shipping nationally right? You should be fine. I was told you don't even have to declare anything
If you tick the box that says batteries (or don't tick the one that says does not contain batteries, can't remember which way around it is) it will go via road. Simples.
