Restrictions Apply

Special Rules Apply

According to CATSA guidelines, electric carry‑on suitcases are permitted if the battery is 100Wh or less. Spare batteries are allowed in carry-on, but placing them in checked baggage requires airline approval. Spare batteries must be individually protected – use original retail packaging, tape over terminals, or use a protective case to prevent short-circuiting. Review our Guidelines for Batteries webpage for more information.
