Power bank rules.

The published policy, its sources and the questions still worth asking.

Clarification needed
  • Newsroom: 100–160 Wh with approval at check-in. AirAsia help pages: more than 100 Wh prohibited.

Exact 100 Wh boundary: wording such as “under 100 Wh” needs airline confirmation for a bank labelled exactly 100 Wh.
