βοΈ Airlines and Baggage Rules
Power Bank Carry-On Limits and Checked Baggage Rules
Due to fire risks, power banks are strictly prohibited in checked luggage and must be carried into the cabin. Batteries rated at 100Wh or below are generally permitted, while those between 100Wh and 160Wh require prior airline approval.

This one is about Airlines and Baggage Rules β something worth settling before departure so you are not spending local time on it. Work through the 3 checkpoints below in order.
Key checkpoints
- Check the Wh rating printed on the battery casing, or calculate it by multiplying mAh by voltage (V) and dividing by 1,000 if only mAh is displayed.
- Pack all power banks in your carry-on luggage, as packing them in checked bags will trigger security inspection, baggage opening, and confiscation.
- Review your airline official website before departure for rules on batteries exceeding 100Wh and per-passenger quantity limits, as policies vary by carrier and country.
What to do before departure, in order
Two rules decide the order. First, anything with a deadline β pre-registration, bookings, documents to be issued: miss the cut-off and there is no substitute. Then whatever also works locally, which costs little to postpone.
Most of the items above can only be done before you leave. After arrival, patchy connectivity and opening hours make them harder, so finish what you can while you are still at home.
