All Portable Outlet battery models follows rules designated for lithium-ion batteries between 100 and 160 Watts:
- They are allowed on commercial flights in “Carry-On Baggage” only.
- There is a limit of TWO allowed per passenger on each flight.
- Lithium-ion batteries are NOT allowed in checked luggage placed in the airplane’s cargo hold.

If your Portable Outlet battery is confiscated at the airport, we will replace it for free.
We understand that CPAP battery users have concerns about taking a Portable Outlet on a domestic or international flight. Since we began in 2017, we have never been notified that a Portable Outlet battery was refused on any domestic or international commercial flight. If your Portable Outlet PO155W, PO160UPS, PO160UPSv2, or PO1600UPSX9 model is confiscated while the current TSA and FAA lithium-ion battery rules are in place, we will send you a replacement Portable Outlet anywhere in the continental United States for free.
Airline Approval
Most airlines adhere to standard TSA guidelines for carrying lithium-ion batteries between 100Wh and 160Wh in carry-on luggage. However, some airlines require pre-flight approval. Check our comprehensive list of airlines that either permit these batteries in carry-on luggage without prior notice or require travelers to obtain pre-flight approval first before flying.
REMINDER: Portable Outlet is not associated with any airline. For airlines that require pre-flight approval, contact their customer service team in advance to travel with your Portable Outlet battery in your carry-on luggage.
