Quick rule summary

ANA allows up to 20 spare lithium batteries at or below 100 Wh and up to two 100–160 Wh spares in carry-on baggage. It also publishes a 15-device limit and a two-power-bank limit for 2026.

Important: From 24 April 2026, ANA permits up to two power banks at no more than 160 Wh in carry-on baggage, prohibits recharging them from inflight power, and asks passengers to refrain from using them to charge devices. Power-bank quantities interact with 100–160 Wh spare-battery quantities. Because ANA's 160 Wh allowance differs from IATA's 2026 passenger power-bank guidance, the checker marks power banks above 100 Wh as VERIFY.
