From April 15, 2026, passengers on flights departing Singapore may carry no more than two power banks. The CAAS announcement also prohibits recharging them on board and advises against using them to charge devices. Excess banks cannot simply be moved into checked baggage.
Does this apply only to Singapore Airlines?
No. A departure rule and an airline rule have different scopes. Check the Singapore departure requirement even if your carrier is based in another country. Then check that carrier’s own capacity, quantity, storage and usage restrictions. Use the name of the airline operating the flight, rather than only the company that sold the ticket.
What does Singapore Airlines allow?
Its published advisory permits up to two power banks, with approval required above 100 Wh and a maximum of 160 Wh each. It prohibits both using and recharging them in flight. The advisory recommends keeping them accessible. Scoot has its own published information; do not treat related airline brands as interchangeable.
Before leaving for the airport
Count the banks across all your cabin bags, including the small backup you keep in a day bag. Check their labels and protect each one individually. Charge devices in advance and keep essential arrival information available without relying on a power bank during the flight.
Check again on a connection
A different airline may impose a lower limit. Prepare for the strictest applicable restriction on your itinerary, and ask the operator about any unclear requirement before departure.
