The 16" has a 140w charger, the 14" has a 97w charger. Did the TSA stop limiting chargers to 97-100w? I priced both w/32core 32gb 512ssd and the 16" is only $29

The 16" has a 140w charger, the 14" has a 97w charger. Did the TSA stop limiting chargers to 97-100w? I priced both w/32core 32gb 512ssd and the 16" is only $299 more than the 14" .. I want the 14" though, I'd like that 140w charger..
edit: I confused this with the battery maximums, nevermind! Thanks for letting me know!
- Ayesh 5y agoFlight limit is on the battery, limiting it to 100 Wh. I have a laptop with a 230W power brick and never had any problems.
- RL_Quine 5y agoThe limit is on battery capacity at 100Wh, not charger wattage.
- gradys 5y agoI would be extremely surprised if the TSA started checking the wattage on power supplies. I've never even done the separate liquids thing.
- swozey 5y agoThat's a good point. I've never had a bigger charger than the 97w so I've never had to think twice about it. I wonder if this will be obviously 140w, when I see bricks like that on gaming laptops they're usually meant to sit on the floor not plug into the wall directly.
- tiffanyh 5y agoTSA regulates the SIZE of the battery, not the charging mechanism. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/lithium-batteries-more-100-watt-hours https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/...
