Can Outdoor Power Supply be Brought on Board?

Can Outdoor Power Supply be Brought on Board?

Whether outdoor power Supply (such as portable power banks, mobile power Supply, etc.) can be brought on board depends mainly on their rated energy and the specific regulations of the airline.

The following is a detailed answer to this question:

1. Regulations for carrying outdoor power Supply

(1) Rated energy limit:

Outdoor power Supply with a rated energy of no more than 100Wh (watt-hours) can be brought on board without the approval of the airline.

Outdoor power Supply with a rated energy between 100Wh and 160Wh can be brought on board only after approval by the airline.

Quantity limit:

The number of outdoor power Supply carried by each passenger shall not exceed two.

(2) Other requirements:

Outdoor power Supply must be produced by regular manufacturers, with no damage to the appearance and function, and clear body parameter information.

Outdoor power Supply cannot be checked in and must be placed in carry-on or hand luggage.

During security inspection, outdoor power Supply must be taken out separately for inspection.

2. How to determine the rated energy of outdoor power Supply

If the rated energy (Wh) is not directly marked on the outdoor power supply, it can be calculated based on its voltage (V) and capacity (mAh). The calculation formula is: Rated energy (Wh) = voltage (V) × capacity (mAh) / 1000.

3. Airline regulations and actual operations

Although the Civil Aviation Administration has made clear regulations on the carrying of outdoor power Supply, different airlines may make adjustments on this basis. Therefore, before carrying outdoor power Supply on board, it is recommended to understand the specific regulations of the airline on the flight in advance.

4. Precautions

Outdoor power Supply must not be used during the flight, and the power must be turned off throughout the flight.

Ensure that the outdoor power supply will not cause safety hazards to other passengers or luggage during the carrying process.

In summary, outdoor power Supply can be brought on board if certain conditions are met, but the specific regulations may vary from airline to airline. Therefore, be sure to understand the relevant regulations before carrying to ensure smooth boarding.
