Australia's major airlines have updated their power bank rules, effective December 2025. The changes apply to Qantas, Jetstar, QantasLink, and Virgin Australia.
We've also put together a short video summary:

The Rules
How many: Up to 2 power banks per person
Capacity: 160Wh or below per unit
Where to pack: Carry-on only — not checked baggage
Onboard use: Not permitted during the flight
Storage on the plane: Keep them accessible. Virgin Australia specifically requires power banks under the seat or in the seat pocket — not in overhead lockers.
Why These Rules Have Changed
These updates are part of the airlines' regular safety improvements and bring their policies in line with international guidelines.
SnapWireless Power Banks
All SnapWireless power banks fall within the 160Wh limit. Pack them in your carry-on and you're good to go.
