Key constraints

Quantity
Maximum 2 spare lithium-ion batteries in the 100-160 Wh band; no separate lower-band power-bank-only count is active.
Watt-hour limit
Power banks: plan around the 2026 passenger-facing 100 Wh limit. Generic 100-160 Wh lithium-battery approval language is not shown as a power-bank allowance unless the airline source explicitly says so.
Carry-on
Allowed when within capacity, approval, label, and recall rules.
Checked baggage
Not modeled as allowed for spare lithium batteries and power banks.
Conditions

Conditions that apply to this verdict.

  • Carry-on only — never in checked baggage.

  • Maximum 2 power banks per passenger.

  • Maximum 160 Wh with required approval.

  • Protect terminals against short circuit.

  • Do not store the power bank in the overhead bin.

  • Do not charge the power bank onboard.

  • Do not use the power bank to charge devices onboard.

  • This unit is within 5 Wh of the 100 Wh limit. Security may read the label or recompute from mAh; keep the Wh label visible.

  • Derived from mAh: 72.0 Wh at 3.6 V, 74.0 Wh at 3.7 V. Printed label takes precedence.

Notes

Wh value (74.00) is within 5 Wh of the 100 Wh threshold. Keep the printed Wh label or manufacturer specification available.

Auxiliary calculation
20,000 mAh × 3.7 V ÷ 1000 = 74.00 Wh
Threshold comparison
26.00 Wh below the passenger power-bank 100 Wh limit. The printed Wh label still takes precedence over mAh estimates.

Route-specific signals

These page-specific checks make this verdict about this model, this departure country, and this airline, not a generic power-bank answer.

  • Anker A110b ANKER PRIME 20k 220w POWER BANK is recorded at 74.00 Wh and 20000 mAh, so the capacity check is tied to this exact catalog model.
  • Japan is evaluated as the departure jurisdiction for country-specific power-bank overlays.
  • Air Canada (AC) is evaluated as the operating carrier, with its published dangerous-goods policy included in the citation set.
  • Anker A110b ANKER PRIME 20k 220w POWER BANK has no active recall link in this catalog record, so the verdict is driven by capacity, route, airline, label, and rule evidence.

Allowed in carry-on — confirm the printed Wh label.

Common questions for this exact trip

Is this a guarantee at the airport?

No. This is an informational verdict based on published sources. Airline and security staff retain final authority.

Why can the same power bank get different answers by country or airline?

Power-bank rules combine global battery limits with country overlays, airline policies, storage rules, and recall notices.

When should I re-check this route?

Re-check close to departure, especially when the trip involves China, Thailand, Korea, a recalled model, or a battery near a capacity limit.
