Power banks show mAh, airlines limit Wh. Under 100 Wh flies free in carry-on; 100–160 Wh needs airline approval.
Aviation Authority Verdict & Legal Citation
A 10,000 mAh battery rated at 3.7 V equals exactly 37.0 Watt-hours. Because 37 Wh is far below the 100 Wh passenger limit, it travels freely in cabin baggage across all US, Canadian, European, and Asian airlines. Must be kept in carry-on bags.
