FAQ
Can I carry a 20000mAh power bank on Thai Airways?
Usually yes in carry-on baggage only, because 20000mAh at 3.7V is about 74Wh and stays below the 100Wh band.
Can Thai Airways batteries go in checked baggage?
Loose spare batteries and power banks should not go in checked baggage. Devices with batteries installed are usually okay when switched off and protected.
Before you fly
- Match the Wh result on this page against the exact number printed on your battery if the label is available.
- Protect terminals, avoid loose batteries in checked bags, and switch devices off before checking them in.
- Use the official airline source again right before departure because airport and airline rules can change without notice.
