“I don't think this is allowed on planes This is a 26,800mAh device and from what I can tell a 5v cell, meaning it runs at 134Wh, which exceeds the 100Wh limit of most airlines. Is this correct?”

All my reviews I read said this is fine. You are working with minimum wage TSA employees who really don't care. I have been travelling all over the world on flights this month until this piece of junk finally broke.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Without specific airline approval, the TSA allows powerbanks of up to 100 Wh in carry-on baggage only: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/lithium-batteries-more-100-watt-hours Most powerbanks specify a RATED output of 5V, accomplished by an internal stepup transformer boosting a 3.7V NOMINAL voltage (for fast charging (and marketing) purposes when needed). So by formula, and using the nominal voltage, 26,800 mAh is an on-purpose number meeting but not exceeding the TSA mandated limit: Wh = (mAh X V) / 1000 Wh = (26800 x 3.7) / 1000 = 99.16 Wh
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I took it with me on my carry on they did say anything.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it’s 85 wh, which is allowed on planes. 26,800 mah is also just enough to be allowed on planes. One charging port on this power bank charged at 65 watts while the others are 10 and 15, so the max is actually 65 watts an hour.
