I have a 36V 8.8 Amp qualtek power supply that I want to bring for a friend. I'm not planning on checking bags so it will have to be carry on. Is this ok to bring on a plane? I can't seem to find any rules on power supplies on airplanes in the US.

    Note: to a security agent, they'll probably just see it as "computer equipment" or "electrical equipment" or something like that - they probably don't care what kind of equipment. Don't get too worked up about how it's a "power supply" and not "computer equipment". (Disclaimer: I've never had to deal with American TSA)

    @DeepSpace There's a nonzero risk of them spontaneously catching fire. If they're packed in the carry-on there's a higher chance someone will notice and put it out compared to if it catches fire in the baggage compartment.

    Hopefully Ask TSA and the agents are reading the same rulebook... of course, as the page notes the final decision always lies with the agent and it can be difficult but if you escalate to a supervisor and can show Ask TSA on your phone, who knows, they might let it pass.

If by "power supply" you mean something you connect to a wall socket, and which can then supply DC power to some electronics, then certainly -- people routinely fly with those in their cabin baggage (they might call them laptop chargers instead, but a power supply is what it is).



If you're speaking about a battery bank that doesn't need to be receive grid power while it puts out DC, then different rules apply.

In general, electronic devices are allowed, provided they don't contain forbidden substances (anything highly flammable, radioactive, explosive, liquids etc.). Practically, most devices without large batteries in them are OK. Batteries are indeed dangerous, hence the limits and the requirements to keep devices with batteries in carry-on.



Anecdotally, I once travelled with as similarly looking device which weighted about 16kg and occupied most of my checked in bag.

      Hopefully Ask TSA and the agents are reading the same rulebook... of course, as the page notes the final decision always lies with the agent and it can be difficult but if you escalate to a supervisor and can show Ask TSA on your phone, who knows, they might let it pass.

    The What Can I Bring page does not list this explicitly but it does list Phone Chargers which are similar in function but also Bread Machine, Laptops, Sewing Machine all of which require AC/DC units. Also power inverter. If you want to be 100% sure




    For items not listed here, simply snap a picture or send a question to AskTSA on Facebook Messenger or Twitter. We look forward to answering your questions, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET weekdays; 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends/holidays.

    If by "power supply" you mean something you connect to a wall socket, and which can then supply DC power to some electronics, then certainly -- people routinely fly with those in their cabin baggage (they might call them laptop chargers instead, but a power supply is what it is).



    If you're speaking about a battery bank that doesn't need to be receive grid power while it puts out DC, then different rules apply.

    In general, electronic devices are allowed, provided they don't contain forbidden substances (anything highly flammable, radioactive, explosive, liquids etc.). Practically, most devices without large batteries in them are OK. Batteries are indeed dangerous, hence the limits and the requirements to keep devices with batteries in carry-on.



    Anecdotally, I once travelled with as similarly looking device which weighted about 16kg and occupied most of my checked in bag.
