They mention their portable batteries at airports. Is that allowed? I thought I heard spare lithium ion batteries were banned from planes, both checked and carryon.
- astrange 9y agoYou shouldn't check batteries but it's fine to carry them. They're as safe as they are in your laptop.

You could say that "Power banks" aren't technically batteries - they're phone chargers that have built-in batteries, so they're more akin to a phone or tablet with a built-in battery from a safety point of view, with all the same physical and electrical protections against short-circuits.
