As a modern traveler, the reliance on electronic devices is undeniable, and ensuring a seamless journey involves understanding the ins and outs of carrying batteries on board. Fortunately, most airlines allow passengers to bring batteries in their carry-on luggage like the ‘ULTI’ messenger bag by CONMIGO.

Portable Electronics:

Smartphones, cameras, and laptops typically use lithium-ion batteries. These rechargeable powerhouses are generally permitted in carry-on bags but are subject to specific regulations. Check with airlines if you are planning on bringing multiple items.  Some checked and messenger bags used for traveling have built-in power banks.  You may need to remove the bank prior to having your bag loaded.  Check with your airlines to expedite the boarding process.

Power Banks:

These are essential for on-the-go charging.  They are also allowed in carry-on luggage. However, they must meet certain criteria, such as a capacity limit of 100 watt-hours per battery. It’s crucial to check airline and country-specific regulations, as some carriers may impose additional restrictions.  Though most airlines provide at seat charging ports, they can’t guarantee that they will be working so it is always best to bring your own ‘juice’.

Spare Batteries:

When it comes to spare batteries, they should be kept in their original packaging or secured in individual plastic bags to prevent short circuits. Generally, spare batteries with up to 8-gram lithium content are permitted in carry-on baggage.  Again, it is always best to check with your particular airlines.

By familiarizing yourself with these regulations, you can confidently power up your devices and embark on your journey without a hitch, ensuring that you stay connected from takeoff to touchdown.

If traveling internationally, check with specific airlines before you depart.
