The TSA has banned the inclusion of portable chargers and lithium batteries in checked luggage following new FAA guidelines. These items, including power banks and spare rechargeable batteries, must now be carried in hand luggage only due to their potential fire risk. Lithium batteries can overheat and result in thermal runaway, especially if damaged or incorrectly packed. The FAA also highlighted the need for travelers to inform flight crews about any overheating devices to ensure safety during flights. This rule affects many travelers, especially during the busy holiday season.
The TSA has banned lithium battery chargers in checked luggage due to fire risks, requiring travelers to carry them in the cabin instead.
All spare lithium batteries and power banks must be kept with passengers in the aircraft cabin, as they pose fire risks when checked.
