Capacity is useful only when the battery is allowed, charged, safe and paired with the right cable. Airline rules and circuit rules are separate checks.

Three rules before you compare

  1. 01

    The current organiser’s prohibited-items and bag-size rules override every generic packing list.

  2. 02

    Choose equipment that still works after rain, queues, security checks and a full day on foot.

  3. 03

    Test fit, charge and weatherproofing at home; race morning is too late to discover a weak link.
