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

No problem...unless it explodes/burns and then you will be considered
a terrorist and jailed.

Be sure to send us your address so we can send you a cordless file
(batteries optional) to escape.
