Latest News About Ryanair Power Bank Restrictions

I don’t have live access to the latest Ryanair-specific rules right this moment. I can share what’s generally changing for power banks on European flights in 2025–2026 and how to check Ryanair’s current policy before you travel.

What’s new in power bank rules (general context)

• Most airlines restrict power banks to 100 Wh or less in carry-on; higher capacity (100–160 Wh) often requires pre-approval and is not guaranteed. Some carriers ban higher-capacity packs entirely. These shifts aim to reduce lithium battery fire risk on board.[3][5][6]
• Power banks are typically prohibited in checked baggage; they must be in carry-on and easily accessible, with protection against short circuits (insulated, in a protective pouch).[5][3]
• Some airlines now limit the number of power banks per passenger (commonly two) and require the devices to be removed from devices during critical flight phases.[3]

How to verify Ryanair’s current policy

• Check Ryanair’s official help center page for Permitted Items On Board, as it lists up-to-date rules and any exceptions.[9]
• Look for any Ryanair-specific notices about power banks, especially if you’re carrying between 100 Wh and 160 Wh or if you have multiple packs.[7]

Practical steps for your trip

• Locate the exact watt-hour rating on your power bank (and if it’s a lithium-polymer cell, confirm model specs). If it’s 100 Wh or less, you’re usually allowed in cabin baggage; if it’s between 100–160 Wh, you’ll likely need airline approval. If over 160 Wh, it’s typically not allowed.[3]
• Do not place power banks in checked luggage; keep them in your carry-on with terminals protected and tape or a protective pouch.[3]
• Bring at most two power banks per person if your airline permits two; verify Ryanair’s limit in their current policy.[3]
