Power banks have become essential for travelers. However, with the increasing number of overseas and business trips, airlines are tightening safety regulations regarding power banks.

Starting in 2024, South Korea&rsquo;s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport implemented new rules for carrying power banks on flights. Many airlines worldwide began adopting similar rules in March 2025. Key requirements include:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Clear labeling of power specifications, including battery capacity (e.g., 10,000mAh, 3.7V / 37Wh, 3.7V / 10,000mAh).</li>
<li>Rated energy must not exceed 160Wh. If only the milliamp-hours (mAh) and standard voltage (V) are labeled, use this formula: Wh = V &times; mAh / 1000. Power banks are only allowed in carry-on baggage and cannot be checked in.</li>
<li>For power banks rated 100Wh&ndash;160Wh, passengers may carry only 2 to 4 units (subject to specific airline policies).</li>
<li>Use of power banks during flights is prohibited (implemented by EVA Air, China Airlines, Tigerair Taiwan from March 1, 2025).</li>
</ul>

Airlines Introduce New Regulations for Power Banks

Tip: Check your airline&rsquo;s latest policies before departure to protect your rights and avoid trouble at the gate.

Cabin pressure at high altitudes is less stable than on the ground. If a power bank&rsquo;s internal components are damaged or degraded, it may catch fire or even explode.
&nbsp;
Potential causes of overheating or combustion include:
<ul type="disc">
<li>Dropping, impact, or being crushed under pressure.</li>
<li>Battery aging, short-circuiting due to contact with metal objects (e.g., keys, coins), or poor internal design.</li>
</ul>

Why Are Power Banks a Safety Concern on Planes?

When buying a power bank, consider the following three aspects:
&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Battery type: Lithium-ion and lithium-polymer (Li-Polymer) batteries are common. Li-Polymer batteries are more stable, less prone to swelling, and generally lighter&mdash;making them the preferred choice for many brands.</li>
<li>Certifications: Look for recognized safety marks such as BSMI, FCC, CE, PSE, and KCC.</li>
<li>Multiple protection mechanisms: Features like overheat protection, short-circuit protection, and overcharge/discharge protection reduce safety risks.</li>
</ol>
