When preparing for air travel, keeping your
devices charged is essential. But many travelers ask the same question before
packing their tech: can you take a power bank on a plane? The answer is yes—with some important conditions.
Understanding airline and TSA regulations helps ensure you travel smoothly
without leaving your backup power behind. For flyers who prioritize both
performance and portability, the Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) offers a compact,
compliant, and travel-ready charging solution.
What You Need to Know Before Flying with a
Power Bank
TSA and Airline Regulations for Carry-On
The Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) allows passengers to bring power banks on board—but only in carry-on baggage, not checked
luggage. This rule exists because lithium-ion batteries, which power most power
banks, can pose fire risks when damaged or short-circuited. Keeping them in the
cabin ensures that flight crew can quickly respond if something goes wrong. To
comply, your power bank must meet the Watt-hour (Wh) limit set by airlines.
Most carriers allow:
l Up to 100Wh without special approval
l 100Wh to 160Wh with airline approval
l No devices over 160Wh
The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) is well
within TSA limits, offering 10,000mAh of capacity, or approximately 37Wh. That
makes it safe for air travel on virtually any airline, anywhere in the world. You
don’t need to request
special permission to bring this power bank. Just pack it in your carry-on bag,
and you’re good to go. Always double-check the device label, which typically
shows the Wh rating, and if you’re carrying more than one power bank, ensure they’re stored separately and powered off
during the flight.
Choosing the Right Power Bank for Travel
Not all power banks are ideal for flying.
Travel-friendly options should be compact, TSA-compliant, and capable of
powering your devices efficiently during long flights or layovers. The Anker
MagGo Power Bank offers several standout features that make it perfect for
flying:
l Qi2 Certified 15W Wireless Charging: Quickly power your iPhone 15 or
other compatible devices without the need for tangled cables.
l 10,000mAh capacity: Enough to provide 1.8 full charges for the
iPhone 15 Pro, perfect for long-haul flights or multi-stop travel days.
l Built-in stand: Watch movies or attend video calls hands-free with
the integrated kickstand, a great feature during travel downtime.
l The slim profile of the MagGo allows it to fit easily into a
backpack, tote, or small tech pouch. It won’t weigh you down, but it’s powerful enough to support all-day use.
