Airlines now ban 'power bank' batteries being used in flight

While power banks are already banned from checked luggage, some
airlines are going a step further...
...
...
These battery packs were banned from checked luggage in 2016,
following new rules set down by international aviation safety
regulators, and can now travel only in your carry-on cabin bags.

In 2025, airlines are introducing even tougher rules surrounding power
banks.


Taiwan's Eva Air has announced that from 1 March 2025, "to ensure
flight safety, the use and charging of power banks and spare lithium
batteries will be prohibited throughout the flight."
...
...
The same rules will apply on South Korean airlines, including Korean
Air and Asiana, from 1 March 2025, along with an additional
restriction: lithium-ion power banks and even e-cigarettes won't be
allowed in overhead luggage bins.

Instead, they'll need to remain with the passenger at their seat.
