Can I bring a power bank on a flight?

Yes, you can bring a power bank on a flight, but there are important aviation regulations you must follow to avoid having your power bank confiscated at security or denied during boarding.

Most airlines and aviation authorities, including the International Air Transport Association (IATA), allow passengers to carry power banks only in their carry-on luggage, not in checked baggage.

✅ What you should do:

- Check your power bank’s label for capacity (mAh or Wh).
- Keep it easily accessible for inspection at security.
- If possible, bring a power bank under 27,000mAh (~99.9Wh) to avoid any issues.
- Some airlines may ask you to show the printed capacity, so avoid using unmarked or heavily worn units.
