Air France power bank questions
Can I bring 2 power banks on Air France?
Air France doesn’t state a number of power banks, so the worldwide limit applies: 2 per person (ICAO). From Air France’s page: 100–160Wh power banks + spare batteries: max 2 in total per person.
Can I bring a 20,000 mAh power bank on Air France?
Yes. At 3.7 V a 20,000 mAh power bank is about 74 Wh, under Air France’s 100 Wh limit. Keep it in your carry-on.
Can I use my power bank on an Air France flight?
No. Air France doesn’t allow using a power bank on board, and you can’t recharge it on board either.
