Bringing power packs on airplanes?

I recall reading about no lithium batteries allowed on airplanes.  So when traveling, how are you getting your power packs to locations?

It's not completely true that they don't allow these. It depends on the size of the pack.

Lithium Batteries. Although many types of batteries are allowed on commercial airliners, you may not pack a lithium-metal battery with over two grams of lithium. Smaller lithium-metal batteries and various sizes of lithium-ion batteries are allowed in your carry-on baggage but not in checked luggage.

I've had no issues with power packs (Anker, but shouldn't matter) in two trips. I'm not certain TSA knows what they are anyway.

Why so serious?
