Japan is planning to ban the use of power banks on passenger flights. This new regulation will impose stricter limits on lithium-ion devices carried onto aircraft.

Travelers to Japan should be aware of upcoming restrictions on power banks during flights. The new rules will likely prohibit the use of these devices and may limit the number or capacity allowed in carry-on luggage.

This change primarily affects passengers who rely on power banks to keep their devices charged during travel. Consider alternative charging solutions like portable chargers that meet the new regulations or charging devices at the airport before boarding.

Always check with your airline for the most up-to-date information on permitted devices and battery limits before traveling. Failure to comply could result in confiscation of your power bank or other penalties.
