Airplane transportation

#1

I am wondering if we can transport the powerhouse battery in airplanes. Thanks!

Very unlikely.

A common maximum is 100Wh, the Powerhouse is significantly over that at 434Wh.

Watts = Volts x amps (Amp = 10000mA), so you take the voltage of the internals (usually 3.7V) times the Amp-hours to get your Watts-hours. For example the Powercore 26800 is a 26800mah = 26.8Ah, is 3.7v, so 3.7v x 26Ah = 96.2Ah so it is allowed.

If Anker had made the Powerhouse (as per my suggestion) then you can separate the batteries out and each is <100Wh. As Anker has designed it… no.
