FAQs & Answers

  1. Can I take a power bank larger than 100Wh in hand luggage? Most airlines restrict power banks to 100Wh or less in hand luggage. Larger capacity power banks may require airline approval or must be carried as cargo.
  2. Why can’t I put my power bank in checked luggage? Power banks contain lithium batteries which pose a fire risk. Airlines require them to be in carry-on luggage where they can be monitored.
