The new battery restrictions introduced by numerous airlines open new opportunities for compliant power bank rental services
New restrictions on power banks on aircraft: what changes from April 1st, 2025
Starting April 1st, 2025, several airlines have introduced new and stricter restrictions on the use and transport of power banks on board aircraft. These measures have been adopted following various safety incidents related to lithium batteries.
The impact on travelers: new challenges and inconveniences
These new restrictions will have a significant impact on travelers who rely on power banks to keep their devices charged during trips. Passengers will need to:
- Carefully verify the specific policies of the airline before their flight
- Ensure their power banks comply with power limits (less than 100Wh for most airlines)
- Be prepared not to use power banks during the flight
- In some cases, store power banks in sealed bags or with special protections
For many travelers, this situation could mean being unable to recharge their devices, creating considerable inconvenience.
