Yes you can travel with lead acid or lithium broncolor batteries for the Mobil A2R/A2L or Verso Power Dock on a commercial airline flight. If you want extra assurance then simply download the IATA conformity statement from Bron Elektronik |

If the power output of your broncolor pack is blinking after firing the pack (the head may or may not have fired). This generally means that the head has misfired. Check the cabling and check that the flashtube is in good condition and is properly seated. |
|
Prior to replacing fuses, disconnect the power pack and the lamp from the power supply!
Broncolor flash light systems should only be equipped original Broncolor spare parts!
Only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the fuse type plate on the lamphead should be used; otherwise you may cause damage to the modeling light during a power surge. |

The Mobil A2L battery power flash pack builds on the features of the Mobil A2r. But the introduction of the A2L actually opened up new features for existing Mobil A2r packs by allowing Lithium batteries to be used with the Mobil A2r. The the chart below for a comparison.

Yes, all broncolor heads are compatible with all broncolor packs back to 1972. there are a few things that you should know though. The broncolor Mobilite heads have a low current draw modeling light designed for use on the Mobil a2r pack. This means that the Mobilite heads modeling light will not work when plugging the head into a regular AC powered studio pack. Conversely, Unilite and Pulso head modeling lights will not function when plugging them into a Mobil a2r pack. Either way there is no risk of damage to either the pack or the head. The pin outs on the heads are different so the only behavior is that the lamphead modeling light will not turn on.
Update: As of the release of the Litos lamp head in September 2010 that above statement s no longer accurate. Litos is a lightweight head that was created specificall for use with teh Senso pwer pack. Litos will only operate on a Senso power pack and not on other broncolor packs. But in addition to the Lito head any other broncolor head can be used with the Senso power pack.
