Power banks over 100 Wh, but not exceeding 160 Wh – how does airline approval work in practice?

In practice, you’re unlikely to have issues at most places as people are unlikely to inspect the wattage of each power brick.

However, some airports inspect each and every one, and if the power isn’t visible or is worn off, they will just assume it’s over the limits and take it away (see my experience in China).

Note that in this case it had nothing to do with the airline, and everything to do with China in-transit security – I didn’t even enter the country.

Airlines are not generally the ones governing this – they’re not going to ask you at check in (heck you may check in online), it’ll be the security at the source and transit airports who are most likely to pull you up.
