Quick Answer
The EXP48PRO is a 154Wh CPAP battery, which falls within Alaska Airlines’ published 101–160Wh battery category. Alaska states that guests may have 2 batteries between 101Wh and 160Wh, and all others must be 100Wh or less. Because the EXP48PRO is a larger spare lithium battery used for CPAP power, EXP PRO recommends confirming directly with Alaska before travel and keeping the battery in carry-on baggage.
