And what about the newer battery tech (Silicon carbon) that’s enabling higher capacity batteries in mobiles these days? If those start showing up in laptops / powerbanks, they’ll have massive capacities soon, like a 50000 mah powerbank or a 200-250wh laptop, what would be done in such a case?
As per AI:
-
Airline Approval Required
Power banks with a capacity between 100 Wh and 160 Wh are only allowed in carry-on baggage if you obtain explicit approval from the airline before your flight.
This approval process often requires you to provide documentation showing the power bank’s watt-hour rating, and sometimes safety certifications or manufacturer specifications
Only 2 units allowed. -
Above 160 Wh Prohibited
Any power bank above 160 Wh is strictly prohibited on all passenger flights, regardless of approval or documentation.
Less then or equal to 100 Wh do not require any approval, any quantities can be carried

I am buying 3rd power bank since opened this topic.
This time any among these two options:
From ugreen official site its available for less
I think many people already mentioned it but xiomi, duracell and anker are the only half decent players in this game. Got a 20k mah one for 1500rs from HKG, it even has 20V so i can easily top up my laptop
Update:
Ordered ugreen powerbank with fast shipping for 149 INR
But it was restricted in air travel. (check attachment)
Came to understand from ugreen support that these products are disallowed in luggage (hence air transport was canceled) anything or 28000 mah is allowed only in cabin. Hopefully, this information might come handy for others.
They will issue a credit note for fast shipping.
