Quick rule summary
Cathay Pacific requires visual verification for lithium-powered electronic devices and spare lithium batteries in the 100–160 Wh band. Devices in checked baggage must be completely switched off and protected from damage.
Important: Cathay Pacific permits a maximum of two power banks, requires them in cabin baggage under the seat rather than in checked baggage or overhead storage, and prohibits their use or recharging onboard. Its battery page publishes 20 small spare batteries and up to two 100–160 Wh spare batteries; batteries with unclear Wh markings may be refused.
