Anything you want to take through security needs to state what security personnel have been told to allow.
And that's slightly wrong, too - because there's no issue with a 700W power bank/battery if you can find one, but they're actually after energy capacity. Which is charge (in amp-hours instead of coulombs) times nominal battery voltage (not written on the pack) equals energy in watt-hours.
