Certain restrictions apply to the transport of electronic devices and lithium batteries depending on whether they are installed in the equipment or are being carried as spares.
Devices with a lithium battery installed can be transported in the cabin or checked in, as long as the battery does not exceed 160 Wh.
To check in a laptop, drone, camera, mobile phone or similar device that has an installed battery, you must disconnect the battery as well as any applications, alarms or configurations that might activate it again, taking all necessary measures to ensure that it is not activated accidentally.
Spare batteries and power bank are not allowed in checked baggage. You must always carry them with you in the cabin. The permitted units per passenger are 4 batteries (maximum 100 Wh) and 2 batteries (between 100 Wh and 160 Wh), and 2 portable chargers (maximum 100 Wh).
You must cover the terminals of all spare batteries carried in hand luggage in order to avoid a short circuit. Use the original packaging, cover terminals or use individual plastic bags for each battery. Please don't store them in the overhead bins or use them at any point during the flight.
