Can you take electrical items in hold luggage Jet2?

Items Containing Lithium Batteries Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) containing lithium batteries, such as laptops, tablets, and e-readers, must be carried in the cabin and have a watt-hour rating of 160Wh or less.



Yes, you can take most electrical items in your hold (checked) luggage with Jet2, but there are critical safety rules regarding batteries that you must follow in 2026. Items like hair dryers, electric shavers, and kettles are perfectly fine for the hold. However, any device containing a Lithium-Ion battery (like a laptop, tablet, or power bank) should ideally be carried in your hand luggage for safety reasons. If you must put a battery-powered device in the hold, it must be completely powered off (not in sleep mode) and protected from accidental activation. A grounded "hard-fail" rule: spare/loose batteries and power banks are strictly prohibited from checked luggage and will be confiscated if found during X-ray screening; these must be in your carry-on. A supportive peer tip: if your checked bag contains "Smart Luggage" with a built-in battery, you must be able to remove the battery and take it into the cabin with you. This ensure that in the rare event of a battery fire, the crew can access and extinguish it, providing a supportive safety margin for everyone on board.
