What are the rules for loose (lithium) batteries, such as power banks?

You can bring a power bank, AA battery or any other rechargeable battery for your laptop or smartphone on your trip. There are a few important rules for transporting these loose lithium batteries:

• You can bring a maximum of 20 individual lithium batteries with a rating of up to 100 Wh each;
• You should carry the lithium batteries in your cabin baggage.
• For safety reasons, batteries are definitely not allowed in your checked baggage;
• You bring the lithium battery in its original packaging. If you do not have the original packaging, isolate the battery contact points by covering them with tape;
• Pack each battery in a separate plastic bag.

Please note: Lithium batteries are not permitted on flights to Tel Aviv, except in wheelchairs.
