Important: Lufthansa publishes an overall loose/spare-battery total of 20 that includes power banks. Up to two power banks are allowed; power banks above 100 Wh and up to 160 Wh require airline transport approval. Power banks must stay accessible, out of the overhead compartment, and may not be used or charged onboard.
