TL;DR

Southwest Airlines will cap lithium-powered portable chargers at one per passenger, ban charging on board, and forbid stowage in overhead bins starting April 20; travelers must keep the charger on their person or store it in a carry-on under the seat—policy aimed at preventing battery fires as FAA data show rising lithium-battery incidents and recalls from makers like Anker, with international rules already tighter.
