Operating carrier policy context
SWISS LX
Confidence
Airline official
For power-bank verdicts, plan around the 2026 passenger-facing 100 Wh limit unless the airline source explicitly confirms a power-bank-specific 100-160 Wh approval path for this trip.

Key constraints
Quantity
No SWISS-specific lower-band power-bank count is active in the current ruleset.
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, quantity, approval, label, route, and recall rules.
Checked baggage
Power banks and spare batteries are not permitted as checked baggage under the passenger battery rules.

Capacity evidence for this model
Auxiliary calculation
25,000 mAh × 3.7 V ÷ 1000 = 92.50 Wh
Threshold comparison
7.50 Wh below the passenger power-bank 100 Wh limit. The printed Wh label still takes precedence over mAh estimates.

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.
