美国航空公司正在实施一项关于便携式充电器的新政策,以解决飞行中的潜在问题安全问题。
从5月1日开始,所有美国航空公司航班上的旅客将被要求在使用时将任何便携式充电器放在可见和伸手可及的地方。
“我们知道我们的客户依赖便携式充电器在旅途中为设备供电,”该运营商表示。“为了支持机上安全,同时确保我们的客户能够在旅途中继续充电,美国航空公司要求客户在飞行期间方便地使用这些设备。”
它补充说,“新的限制”将“也适用于客户可以随身携带的便携式充电器的数量及其瓦时容量。”
根据新政策,该航空公司表示,将限制乘客使用两个不超过100瓦时的便携式充电器。该航空公司表示,便携式充电器-包含用于为个人电子设备充电的锂离子电池-可能不会存储在头顶的行李箱中,也不能在飞行中充电。
这家总部位于德克萨斯州沃思堡的航空公司表示,该政策正在更新,以允许机组成员在发生任何问题时快速做出反应,例如电池着火。
目前美国航空公司的政策允许在随身行李中放置最多两个备用便携式电池或充电器。
虽然美国联邦航空管理局目前没有要求,但更严格的便携式充电器政策正在成为主要运营商的行业标准,在一系列火灾之后由去年几家不同航空公司运营的航班上的锂离子电池引发。
据报道,仅在2025年,飞机上就发生了97起锂电池事故,其中82起涉及客机,34起涉及电池或电池组美国联邦航空局数据.
西南航空公司实施新的便携式充电器限制去年。该航空公司目前限制乘客在航班上每人只能带一个便携式锂电池充电器或电源。
联合航空公司允许乘客可以将锂电池功率低于100瓦时的个人设备存放在托运行李和手提行李中,但是托运行李中不允许存放电源组。
根据达美航空公司的说法指导方针,乘客可以将锂电池供电的设备“作为随身物品或托运行李”携带,但航空公司禁止将它们存放在头顶的行李箱中。从5月1日开始,达美航空的客户将限于购买两个便携式充电器,每个不超过100瓦时。
What to know about American Airlines' new portable charger, batteries policy
American Airlines is implementing a new policy on portable chargers to address potential in-flightsafetyissues.
Starting May 1, travelers on all American Airlines flights will be required to keep any portable charges visible and within reach while in use.
"We know our customers rely on portable chargers to keep devices powered throughout their journey," the carrier stated. "To support safety on board while ensuring our customers continue to have the ability to charge when on the go, American is requiring customers to keep these devices easily accessible during flight."
It added that "new limits" will "also apply to the number of portable chargers customers can bring onboard and their watt-hour capacity."
Under the new policy, the airline said it will limit passengers to two portable chargers that do not exceed 100 watt-hours each. Portable chargers -- which contain lithium-ion batteries intended to charge personal electronic devices -- may not be stored in overhead bins and cannot be recharged during the flight, the airline said.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier said the policy is being updated to allow crew members to respond quickly in case of any issues, such as a battery fire.
Current American Airlines policy allows up to two spare portable batteries or chargers in carry-on bags.
While it's not currently required by the Federal Aviation Administration, stricter portable charger policies are becoming industry standard among major carriers,following a string of firessparked by lithium-ion batteries onboard flights operated by several different airlines last year.
In 2025 alone, there were 97 lithium battery incidents on aircraft, with 82 involving passenger planes and 34 involving batteries or battery packs, according toFAA data.
Southwest Airlinesimplemented new portable charger restrictionslast year. The airline currently limits travelers to one lithium portable charger or power bank per person on its flights.
United Airlinesallowspassengers to store personal devices that have lithium batteries under 100 watt-hours in their checked and carry-on bags, however, power banks are not allowed in checked luggage.
According to Delta Air Linesguidelines, passengers can bring lithium battery-powered devices "as carry-on items or in checked baggage," but the airline prohibits them from being stored in overhead bins. Beginning May 1, Delta customers will be limited to two portable chargers, not to exceed 100 watt-hours each.
