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.

  • Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port Compact Power Bank 20K with PD 20W is recorded at 74.00 Wh and 20000 mAh, so the capacity check is tied to this exact catalog model.
  • Thailand departures use Wh-based passenger battery bands; mAh labels are treated as supporting capacity evidence.
  • British Airways (BA) is evaluated as the operating carrier, with its published dangerous-goods policy included in the citation set.
  • Belkin BoostCharge 3-Port Compact Power Bank 20K with PD 20W 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.
