Batik Air, formerly Malindo Airways Sdn Bhd, has updated its power bank policy. Passengers are now allowed to carry up to two power banks with them, but they must be kept on the person and not in carry-on luggage. However, the use of power banks in checked luggage continues to be strictly prohibited, Bernama has reported.

The airline stated that this policy aligns with IATA's dangerous goods regulations, which prohibit power banks exceeding 100 watt-hours (Wh) or 20,000 milliampere-hours (mAh) from being carried in checked luggage.

“In response to recent safety concerns regarding power banks, Batik Air has introduced an updated policy to further strengthen onboard safety measures. To enhance safety, the use of power banks inside the cabin is strictly prohibited.

“Passengers are also advised to exercise caution when carrying auto-magnet charge power banks, as these may pose additional risks,” it said in a statement.

To ensure a smooth implementation of the new policy, Batik Air will display safety reminders at check-in counters and reinforce them through boarding announcements and in-flight briefings. Check-in staff will inspect power banks before boarding to ensure they are in good condition and adhere to watt-hour (Wh) limits.

“Batik Air remains committed to upholding the highest safety standards while ensuring a seamless travel experience. The airline appreciates passengers’ cooperation in adhering to this updated policy, which aligns with industry best practices to enhance in-flight safety measures,” it added.
