power banks banned on flights

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has issued a reminder to travelers that power banks over 160 watt-hours (Wh) are banned on flights. Under the International Aviation Standard, power banks with less that 100Wh capacity are allowed on airplanes, and the CAAP applies the same rule.

Additionally, power banks must be packed in hand-carry luggage, not in checked bags. Since March 1, South Korean airlines have also banned power banks and e-cigarettes from overhead bins, though passengers can still carry them on their person. The CAAP is urging passengers to check the specifications of their power banks and follow safety regulations to help prevent accidents.
