Power Bank Flight Checker

Most power banks use 3.7V — check the label if unsure.

The free web tool "Power Bank Flight Checker" helps you determine if your power bank is suitable for travel by converting its mAh and voltage into watt-hours (Wh). It checks your power bank against common airline regulations, indicating whether it's allowed without special approval, requires prior approval, or is generally banned. Always double-check with your specific airline as rules can vary.
