Carry-on details
Allowed. A power inverter is an electronic device with no internal spare battery of its own — it draws power from a car's electrical system or another source — so it's screened like any other small electronic item.
Checked-bag details
Allowed. No restriction in checked baggage.
FAQ
- Do power inverters have a battery restriction like power banks?
- No — a power inverter itself doesn't contain a battery; it converts power from a car or other source. It's treated as an ordinary electronic device with no special restriction.
