I want to send a friend a DeWalt 18v. drill. USPS says no batteries, how
about UPS? Anyone know? Their site is full of stuff banned. This is

regular drycell nimh battery, attached to the drill.

Dunno about nimh but I ship SLA (sealed lead acid), AKA
"gell cell" via UPS almost daily.

I'm going to tape up the terminals and ship it and claim ignorance if it is
found. Hell, they can't find shipments of marijane or coke even with all
their tekkie stuff. A battery that's wrapped in tape shouldn't be a big
deal. And it's going to the next town over, not on an airliner.
