Power banks on a plane: rules and tips

Yes, you can take a power bank on a plane, but only in your carry-on. These are the general air-safety (IATA) rules most airlines apply.

Always in carry-on luggage

External lithium batteries are banned from checked baggage. Keep it in the cabin, in your backpack or bag, so the crew can act if anything goes wrong.

The 100Wh limit

Up to 100Wh needs no approval; 100 to 160Wh needs airline approval; above 160Wh is not allowed. To calculate: mAh × 3.7 ÷ 1000. A 10000mAh power bank is about 37Wh and a 5000mAh one about 18.5Wh.

Check your airline

Some airlines limit the number of batteries per passenger or their use during the flight. Always check their conditions before you travel.
