Effective April 15 2026 the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will implement new safety rules limiting passengers to just two power banks in their carry-on luggage. This change follows updated global safety requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aimed at reducing fire risks caused by lithium batteries. The cap applies to all power banks including those under 100 watt-hour and larger units up to 160 watt-hour. Travelers with more than two units will be forced to dispose of the extras before boarding. Additionally the new regulations prohibit passengers from charging their power banks during flights. While previous rules allowed for up to twenty small power banks the new limit is much stricter. CAAS is working with airlines to ensure a smooth transition and will post notices at Changi Airport to inform the public. Passengers are advised to check with their specific airlines for any further restrictions before traveling.
