Can I bring a 20000mAh power bank on a plane scoot?

Power Bank Regulations on Scoot Airlines

When traveling with Scoot Airlines, it’s essential to adhere to the regulations regarding power banks to ensure a smooth and safe flight experience.

Checked Baggage

For checked baggage, the airline prohibits the carriage of power banks exceeding 160 Wh. This limit corresponds to most power banks with a capacity of up to 43200 mAh (at 3.7 volts). Therefore, power banks with a capacity of 20000 mAh are within the permissible range and can be packed in checked baggage.

Cabin Baggage

For smart luggage, the airline imposes a stricter limit. The battery must be removed from the luggage and carried separately in the cabin. This is due to the potential fire hazard posed by large batteries enclosed in checked baggage.

Passengers are permitted to carry two power banks in their cabin baggage, each with a capacity between 100 Wh and 160 Wh. This means that power banks with a capacity of 20000 mAh (3.7 volts) are once again allowed within the cabin, as they typically fall below the 160 Wh threshold.

Important Note

1. The airline reserves the right to inspect power banks and batteries for safety purposes.
2. Passengers should ensure that power banks are properly discharged and protected before packing them to avoid any accidents.
3. It’s always advisable to check with the airline directly for the latest regulations and any exceptions.
