Many people do not know whether they are allowed to bring power banks on planes or not. The airline industry is known for being very strict regarding the items allowed on board, and unfortunately, batteries in general and power banks, in particular, are not exempt from being regulated.

As such, a growing number of people are expressing concern for their safety, thanks in part to reports on the news and social media about portable chargers catching fire or exploding.
