Can I bring a power bank onboard?
You can travel with up to 2 power banks as long as you abide by the following:
Key rules
You may carry a maximum of 2 power banks per passenger.
Power banks must be carried in hand baggage and are prohibited from being carried in checked baggage.
Power banks cannot be used on board - either recharged using the aircraft power supply or to recharge other devices.
On board, power banks must be stored either in the seat pocket or in a bag placed under the seat in front of you, i.e. where you can see it.
When not in use, each power bank must be individually protected against short circuits — either keep it in its original retail packaging, tape over exposed terminals, or place it in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch.
Battery specifications and general conditions
Each battery must be of a type meeting the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3.
Each battery must not exceed:
Lithium metal batteries: 2 g lithium content
Lithium ion batteries: 100 Wh Watt-hour rating
Lithium ion batteries may exceed 100 Wh but not exceed 160 Wh with the approval of the operator.
Lithium metal batteries for portable medical electronic devices may exceed 2 g but not exceed 8 g lithium content with the approval of the operator.
No more than two spare batteries meeting the requirements of 3) or 4) may be carried per person.
Portable electronic devices containing batteries
Measures must be taken to prevent unintentional activation and to protect the devices from damage. Devices should be carried as carry-on baggage. If carried as checked baggage, they must be completely switched off (not in sleep or hibernation mode) when the batteries exceed:
Lithium metal: 0.3 g lithium content per device
Lithium ion: 2.7 Wh Watt-hour rating per device
In devices capable of generating extreme heat that could cause a fire if activated, batteries and heating elements must be isolated by removing the heating element, battery, or other components.
Spare batteries
Spare batteries must be:
Carried as carry-on baggage; and
Individually protected against short circuits (original retail packaging, insulated terminals, taped-over terminals, or each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch).
