Can you take a power bank on a plane from Denmark?

Lithium batteries travel in the cabin.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, you can take a power bank on a flight from Denmark, but only in your hand luggage: power banks are not allowed in checked baggage. Lithium batteries under 100 Wh each are allowed in hand luggage. Batteries from 100 to 160 Wh need permission from the airline, and you may bring at most 2. Batteries over 160 Wh cannot travel as passenger luggage and must be shipped as dangerous goods.

Why

  1. Power banks are banned in checked baggage.
  2. Under 100 Wh: allowed in hand luggage.
  3. 100–160 Wh: airline approval, at most 2.

Details

Loose spare batteries are not allowed in checked baggage either, and batteries in devices should stay in hand luggage.

Tip

Check the Wh figure printed on the power bank or on the maker's website before you pack.

What may differ

Airlines may have their own battery rules, so contact yours before departure.

Common misconception

A power bank is safest in the suitcase in the hold.

What actually happens

It is the other way round: power banks may only travel in hand luggage, never in checked bags.
