The TSA does not "approve" packs, so strictly speaking no battery pack/power bank is TSA approved, however, this *IS* well below the 100Wh limit enforced by TSA and other regulators around the world so you should not have a problem flying with it (I have a few times, no problem).

The TSA does not "approve" packs, so strictly speaking no battery pack/power bank is TSA approved, however, this *IS* well below the 100Wh limit enforced by TSA and other regulators around the world so you should not have a problem flying with it (I have a few times, no problem).
Those suggesting this is over 100Wh are confusing this with the fact the pack can output 140W. This might be confusing, but one measurement is the total power contained in the cells that make up the power bank, the other is its ability to deliver power (e.g. how many watts over a connection).
The TSA does not care if the pack can output 140W, it only cares about the total amount of power contained in the pack (e.g. max of 100Wh, which this pack is below despite having 140W capability in its output). The analogy is this: the TSA cares that you only have 3oz of fluids, they limit *how much fluid* you can bring on board, they do not care how big the opening on your container of 3.4oz or less is.

Output from a laptop is far too low. A MacBook Pro for example, is only going to output about 10W. You're looking at 12+ hours to charge this pack at that rate. Additionally, your laptop isn't designed for ongoing high-power draw through it. Also keep in mind that the power is going from the power source, into your lap…

Additionally, your laptop isn't designed for ongoing high-power draw through it. Also keep in mind that the power is going from the power source, into your laptop battery, and then to the battery pack, further aging and degrading your laptop battery. I wouldn't recommend charging this or any other battery pack from a laptop.

Check with your airline. United, for example, will allow lithium ion batteries that are within technology to be checked, but loose batteries and power banks must be carried on and protected.
United allows lithium batteries in tech that do not exceed 100 watt-hours. But allows 2 larger batteries that do not exceed 160…
