Personal electronic devices and batteries are classified as dangerous goods. This is because when damaged they generate heat, short-circuit and can start a fire.
Here you can find detailed information concerning your personal electronic devices and batteries.
Travelling with damaged, defective or from the manufacturer for safety reasons recalled lithium batteries or personal electronic devices is strictly prohibited.
The list of electronic devices and batteries is not exhaustive and can be extended at any time.
The power of lithium-ion batteries is specified in watt hours (Wh). For lithium metal batteries, the lithium content (LC) is stated.
Conversion aid for battery power:
Power restriction: max. 100 Wh or 2 g LC per device
Item restriction: max. 15 devices with batteries per passenger
Portable electronic devices for personal use are:
Wherever possible, these should be transported in carry-on baggage.
Transport regulations in checked baggage:
Power banks are regarded as replacement batteries, not as electronic devices. Information about taking power banks with you can be found in the section: "Power banks, replacement batteries, and loose batteries".
Note:
Portable electronic devices with batteries for personal use that do NOT contain LITHIUM (e.g. alkali-manganese, zinc-carbon, nickel-cadmium, or nickel metal hydride) are:
These should be transported, whenever possible, in carry-on baggage.
Transport regulations in checked baggage:
Additional transport conditions in the case of non-spillable wet batteries:
Power banks are regarded as replacement batteries, not as electronic devices. Information about taking power banks with you can be found in the section: "Power banks, replacement batteries, and loose batteries".

Transport regulations:
The terminals must be individually isolated for all batteries to avoid short circuits. This is possible if the batteries are transported in the original packaging, exposed terminals are masked with adhesive tape, or each battery is packed in a separate plastic bag or protective bag.
Power and item restriction of non-spillable wet batteries:
Note:
- FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT
These include the following devices:
This prohibition applies regardless of battery capacity and whether the batteries are fixed or removable, as well as to battery-powered personal transport devices without a built-in battery.
The above-mentioned examples reflect only a range of possible devices.
These goods may only be transported as cargo in accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
- TRANSPORT APPROVAL REQUIRED
For reasons of safety and loadability in the aircraft there are restrictions regarding:
Note:
- TRANSPORT APPROVAL REQUIRED
Power restriction lithium batteries: max. 160 Wh or 8 g LC per device
