Overview
- ANAC, which published the revised instruction Friday in the Diário Oficial, adopted International Civil Aviation Organization specs for portable chargers.
- Portable chargers must be packed in carry-on bags only, and each traveler is limited to two units.
- Devices up to 100 Wh are permitted without approval, those between 100 and 160 Wh need airline authorization, and anything above 160 Wh is banned.
- Recharging a power bank during the flight is not allowed, and units must be protected against short circuits with covered terminals or original packaging.
- Airlines can apply stricter policies and may refuse mid‑range devices without prior approval, so passengers are advised to check carrier rules before traveling.
