Modern travel isn’t just about reaching your destination — it’s about staying powered and connected along the way.
At Space Suitcases®, we’ve engineered every smart suitcase to double as a portable power system, helping you charge your devices anywhere — safely, efficiently, and TSA-approved.
Whether you’re preparing for an international flight or a weekend getaway, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about battery care, charging on the go, and device compatibility with your Space Suitcase.
🔋 Step 1: Understanding Smart Luggage Power Systems
Unlike typical suitcases, Space Suitcases® models like the ERT1 and AF3 feature removable lithium-ion power modules designed for travel compliance and everyday convenience.
Each battery is rated at 73.26Wh, meeting TSA and FAA guidelines — the same standard applied to laptops and smartphones.
Fully compliant for both carry-on and check-in (with removal).
No outlet needed — charge multiple devices directly from your suitcase.
Quick-release latch for easy removal during inspection.
💡 Pro Tip: Always confirm with your airline whether they require the battery to be removed before check-in. Our system detaches in seconds — no tools, no stress.
⚡ Step 2: USB-C Fast Charging — Power for All Your Devices
Forget hunting for outlets. Every Space Suitcase includes USB-C fast charging capable of powering your phone, tablet, laptop, or earbuds simultaneously.
Dual ports (USB-C + USB-A) with smart current management.
PD 3.0 support for high-power devices like MacBooks.
Auto shut-off prevents overheating.
You can even charge while riding — the ERT1 supports pass-through charging when the motor is idle.
⚙️ Compatibility Highlights:
Works with Apple, Samsung, Google, and most USB-C electronics.
65W combined output.
Pass-through allows simultaneous charging of suitcase + devices.
🔌 Step 3: How to Recharge Your Space Suitcase
Charging is simple — just plug your suitcase into any wall outlet using the universal 100–240V adapter.
Full charge in roughly 3 hours.
LED indicator shows charge progress.
Safe for overnight charging thanks to temperature sensors.
If traveling internationally, use the local plug adapter — no voltage converter needed.
💡 Pro Tip: For optimal lifespan, unplug once fully charged and avoid long-term connection to power sources.
🧳 Step 4: Device Safety & Smart Energy Management
Every Space Suitcase® includes a smart energy management system to keep your devices safe while optimizing efficiency.
Short-circuit and surge protection.
Thermal regulation and current balancing.
Auto-shutoff for sensitive electronics.
All batteries meet CE, RoHS, and UN38.3 global transport standards.
“It’s like carrying a power bank built into luxury luggage — refined, certified, and incredibly safe.”
🛫 Step 5: Air Travel & Battery Guidelines
All batteries under 100Wh are airline-approved, meaning every Space Suitcase® meets TSA and FAA limits.
If asked to remove it:
Detach via quick-release latch.
Carry the battery in your hand luggage.
Reinstall easily after landing.
⚠️ Note: The same standard applies to laptops, cameras, and e-scooters — if it’s under 100Wh, it’s safe to fly.
🌍 Step 6: Sustainability in Power Design
Our energy systems aren’t just smart — they’re sustainable.
Recyclable aluminum housing and non-toxic polymer cells.
Designed for over 600 full charge cycles.
Low heat output and standby energy drain.
When your battery reaches end-of-life, return it through our eco-recycling program for proper disposal or replacement.
💬 Final Thoughts: Smarter Power for Modern Travel
Travel tech should simplify, not complicate.
With Space Suitcases®, your power system travels with you — compliant, efficient, and ready for every adventure.
