What is 56wh?

I've never seen a "56wh" designation on lipos, but of course I haven't been looking at them much lately either.

Not sure if it means the same thing pertaining to a lipo battery but in other battery terms it means (Watt Hour) The higher the number the longer the battery will last.

WH is just another rating that is determined by multiplying the nominal voltage of the lipo pack by the mAh rating and then dividing by 1000. So a 3S 5000mAh pack would be 11.1 x 5000 = 55,500mWH or 55.5WH and int his case it looks like the took the liberty of rounding it up to 56WH. This rating is really meaningless unless you're traveling with LiPos. you're allow to travel with as many lipos as you want that are under 100WH and up to 2 spares that are between 100-160WH. Anything over 160WH has to be sent as cargo. This info may be a bit out of date but that was true as of a year and a half ago or so.

You need to add by air to that. If you're driving it isn't necessary,
