Quick rule summary
Qantas permits spare lithium-ion batteries up to 100 Wh in carry-on baggage and requires approval for 100–160 Wh spares, with a maximum of two in that larger band. Over 160 Wh is not passenger baggage.
Important: Qantas permits up to two power banks, each not exceeding 160 Wh, and prohibits onboard use or charging. Its current carrier policy is more permissive above 100 Wh than IATA's 2026 passenger power-bank guidance, so this checker marks 101–160 Wh power banks as VERIFY and links the official carrier source. No more than 20 spare batteries are permitted in total.
