Devices containing lithium metal batteries or lithium ion batteries, including – but not limited to – smartphones, tablets, cameras and laptops, should be kept in carry-on baggage.

Why are batteries not allowed on planes?

Lithium batteries can produce dangerous heat levels, cause ignition, short circuit very easy, and cause inextinguishable fires. That's why renowned aviation authorities, including those in the USA, have banned lithium batteries when traveling.

Are alkaline batteries allowed in checked baggage?

For more information, see the FAA regulations on batteries.

Can I bring 30000mah Power Bank on plane?

Ignore the listed 5V output voltage. Lithium-ion batteries have an internal voltage of 3.6 volts so always use this figure for the voltage. So in this example, the 30,000 mAh capacity is equivalent to 108 wh and the passenger would need permission from the airline to bring this power bank on their flight.

Is 20000mah power bank allowed in flight?

*Are 20,000mAh power banks allowed on flights? Yes. Power banks rated at 20,000mAh are allowed on board as they fall far below the 100Wh (around 27,000mAh) limit set by the governing aviation bodies.

What happens if you accidentally check a lithium battery?
