Australia Post restricts lithium batteries. Standalone power banks over 100Wh cannot be sent by post. Batteries under 100Wh contained in devices may be sent via surface mail only, not airmail. All shipments must be properly marked with the lithium battery handling label.

Ship power banks surface mail only. Ensure the power bank displays its Wh rating on the label.
