The best travel power banks that meet airline requirements
Keep your phones, tablets and other devices powered up when on vacation
Sanya Nayeem, Games Editor
When travelling, having a fully charged power bank at hand can ensure your communication devices never run out of juice. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) categorically states that “power banks are considered spare batteries and must be individually protected from short-circuit and carried in carry-on baggage only.” Etihad and Emirates both reiterate the same regulations, with Etihad specifying that if you are travelling with a smart bag that has an integrated power bank, it should have a watt/hour rating lower than 100Wh, otherwise you would require prior approval.

It has a universal fit for most phones and devices, with two standard USB ports, a Quick Charge port and a USB-C port.

The Smallest 15W Magnetic Power Bank and Fast Mobile Phone Charger

With fast charging speed and twin USB charging ports, you can plug in two devices at the same time and let it do its job.
