- Aircraft in-seat power is available on a limited number of aircraft and there is no guarantee that a seat with power supply will be available. Therefore, passengers should bring enough batteries to power the POC, CPAP, ventilator or respirator throughout the entire journey plus three hours of extra battery time.
- Passengers may bring up to 20 spare batteries for lithium metal batteries (non-rechargeable) if lithium content is 2 grams or less, and for lithium ion batteries (rechargeable) if capacity is 100 watt hour or less.
- Only two spare batteries are allowed for lithium metal batteries (non-rechargeable) with a lithium content exceeding 2g but not more than 8g or for lithium ion batteries (rechargeable) with capacity exceeding 100 watt hour but not more than 160 watt hour.
- Spare batteries exceeding 8 grams (Lithium metal batteries) or exceeding 160 watt hour (Lithium ion batteries) are not allowed to be carried in the cabin.
- Spare lithium batteries carried on board aircraft must be individually protected from short circuit by placement in original retail packaging, by otherwise insulating terminals by taping over exposed terminals, or by placing each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch.
- If the passenger wishes to connect his/her POC, CPAP, ventilator or respirator to the aircraft power outlets or in-seat power, they need to inform PAL Reservations 48 hours prior to flight for the availability of aircraft power supply. Some of our aircraft can supply AC power at 115 volts, 60 Hz through a Universal Outlet.
- If the passenger does not comply with the conditions for acceptance of POC, CPAP, ventilator or respirator outlined above, Philippine Airlines may deny boarding to the passenger and a written explanation will be provided.
