Simple and concise video!

I plan to bring an uninstalled laptop battery (52 Wh) as a spare battery for my laptop (not a power bank). From your explanation, can I theoretically bring that uninstalled spare laptop battery on a carry on bag? (And I make sure the battery is well protected in a package)

[@BenDreamVacations]

Yes, correct. You can pack it your carry-on.

Last year i flew international from usa to Philippines with 1x power bank 40k, 3 dji mini 3 drone batteries each 28.4watt hours, 2850mah. Then i flew there domestically with them. Does this mean rules changed and i cant bring 4 batteries? I also have phone plus tablet. Any comment is appreciated.

[@BenDreamVacations]

The rule applies for batteries over 100 watt hours. You can only carry two spare batteries over 100 watt hours. There really is no limit for any batteries less than that amount.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@BenDreamVacationshi, a simple question: I can bring in a carry bag x2 130watt hours - can I add x2 20 watt hour batteries as an extra?

[@BenDreamVacations]

@@Lorenzo_Velasquez With airline approval you can carry 2 lithium batteries over 100 watt hours and then in addition, you can carry as many batteries as you need under 100 watt hours

@ fantastic, thank you so much for your reply mate!

How are power banks any different from laptop batteries... Open them up and its 18650 cells most the time... So its dumb they allow one in checked bags but not the other

[@edsssss123]

I bought eight pieces of Airpods Pro 2. Where should I put them? Can i put it on my check-in baggage? I dont want it to carry

[@BenDreamVacations]

You can pack them in your checked luggage but I would recommend keeping them with you during the flight just in case your luggage goes missing. If you are going to bringing a bag on the plane with you I would put them in there as you won't need to take them out when going through security.

[@bmills9821]

what about Lithium wheelchair batteries? Do they have restrictions?

[@BenDreamVacations]

There can be some restrictions depending on the airline you are flying on. In most cases the wheelchair will be stowed under the plane but the airline however, may need to remove the battery and package it separately if the wheelchair cannot be stowed upright in the cargo area. As far as security restrictions, there are none for battery powered wheelchairs.

I want to take drills, sawzaw, batteries, wrenches, hard hat, and going in a hard milwakee case with wheels, 90 wh or less will be attached to powertools. does this sound ok ? Doing work on a Caribbean island

[@BenDreamVacations]

Those are all good to take. You will just have to use the Milwaukee case as checked luggage as you won't be able to take it on the plane with you.

[@Randomadventuresebike]

You are allowed only 2 spare batteries in carry on. Each up to 160 watt hours each.

[@larkster2371]

My battery is 162wh, Is there a way to get rid of the extra 2 wh or will they make a big deal that it has 2 extra wh?

[@rejuaugs]

How about an USB charged lighter ( for LPG stoves) if its in the packet not opened?

[@BenDreamVacations]

Yes, you will be allowed to take a USB charger on the plane with you. Just know that you may be asked to remove it from the packet for inspection so make sure you have it in an easy to get to place.

Can i take two power banks of 20k MAH each ? or i am allowed only one?

[@BenDreamVacations]

You are limited to two power banks in your carry-on with a limit of 27k MAH for each one.

[@womensfashioncollection9474]

Hi Can i Take a remote control car It has a litthium Battery in it and do i have to put it in luggae or Carry on?

[@BenDreamVacations]

The lithium battery has to be carried in your carry-on but the car itself can be packed in either bag.

[@womensfashioncollection9474]

Thanks For the Help👍🏼​@@BenDreamVacations

[@MichaelDillin]

What about a Noco gb40

[@BenDreamVacations]

You can carry a Noco GB40 in your carry-on

[@ducoz6352]

Great video! I understand all airlines allow 100 wh batteries but how do I ask for the airline's approval if I want to carry a battery 101-160 wh?

[@BenDreamVacations]

You can message them through their website or app.

[@Randomadventuresebike]

The tsa rule is 2 spare 101-160 watt hours. Once it's through security the airline won't be checking on it.

[@rejuaugs]

can i take a electric screwdriver in checked baggage if its in its actual package? the battery is 1500 mah

[@BenDreamVacations]

Yes, no problem to take a 1500 mah electric screwdriver in your checked bag

[@AnaGarcia-dw9un]

So my battery says 33800mah (125.06wh) on the second line but it says 18v and further down it also says 5v. I’m confused, plz help. Can I fly with these?

[@BenDreamVacations]

The battery would exceed the limit but you are able to carry 2 batteries at a higher limit with airline approval. So you will need to check with the specific airline you will be flying on to see if they will allow you to carry the higher limit battery that you have.

[@vishalraje_1]

I am thinking to carry 62WH extra laptop battery on international flight to EU. Would it cause any problem?

[@BenDreamVacations]

No problem to take a 62 wh laptop battery to the EU. Just make sure you pack it in your carry-on or personal item bag as it won't be allowed in checked luggage.

[@ephenamatthew559]

My battery is 20000mAh,74Wh

[@BenDreamVacations]

Anything less than 100wh is ok to bring on the plane
