290Wh is not allowed no board aircraft as per ICAO rules Annex 18, the maximum without a specific agreement from the airline is 100Wh. With the agreement it's 160Wh. "Lithium batteries exceeding 160Wh are prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage."

All the laptops are made with 97Wh for a reason...
- arethuza 13y agoAccording to their FAQ: Can I bring a Reactor on a plane? Yes. Per FAA rules every traveler can carry-on up to two Reactor sized batteries. [NB I'm not saying I believe them - I wouldn't go anywhere near an airport with one of these things.]
- yread 13y agoIt seems you're right. It is allowed by FAA but disallowed by ICAO. I'm not sure I would take any chances with a 300$ device though Passengers can also bring two (2) larger lithium-ion batteries (more than 8 less than 25 grams of equivalent lithium content per battery or about 100-300 watt hours per battery) in their carry-on. http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/faa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash...
