As long as it's integrated it's fine.

Batteries of up to 100Wh as used in mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras etc.

In hand baggage
  • Must be kept in the device.
  • Max. 4 spares per person (incl. power banks) kept in original packaging or insulated/protected from contact with metal.
  • Lithium metal batteries must not exceed 2g lithium content and lithium-ion batteries must not exceed 100Wh.
Important note: If your cabin bag is checked in or removed at the gate and placed in the hold, you must remove all spare batteries and power banks and carry them with you in the cabin.

In checked baggage
  • Must be kept in the device.
  • The device must be completely switched off (not in sleep or hibernation mode).
  • Smart luggage tags (e.g. Apple AirTag) may remain energised provided the device contains only lithium batteries not exceeding:
    • Lithium metal content must not exceed 0.3g of lithium
    • Lithium-ion batteries must not exceed 2.7Wh
  • Spare batteries are forbidden in checked baggage and must be carried in the cabin.
