I have a 16000mAh power bank that I use to charge my phone and iPad. I was concerned of it size being a problem for Canadian-USA border security.

Is this actually a problem or will they not even care? I know this may seem like a dumb question.

When I travel between Ireland and the USA about five times a year, I carry with me in carry-on luggage:

  • A 17" laptop
  • An iPad
  • An Android tablet
  • Two or three mobile phones
  • Cables for the above
  • A USB power block
  • A small power bank (not 16000mAh, though)

And I've never had a problem.

You mean one of those USB batteries? They're not much bigger than an iPhone so no, no problem at all.

However, you should not check batteries.
