The FAA does not allow passengers to check in devices with lithium batteries on passenger flights.
Power banks and spare batteries are quite dangerous because they contain lithium; a highly reactive metal when exposed to water.
If their internals get wet, even through moisture, they could start to smoke, catch fire, and sometimes even explode.
Some batteries could also spontaneously experience thermal runaway, often caused by manufacturing defects, damage and/or mishandling.
Handheld gaming consoles are now powered by lithium batteries similar to ones you find on tablets and laptops.
The FAA prohibits this because e-cigarettes use lithium batteries for power.
If you're traveling with your PS5 or Xbox Series X, you're free to put it in your bag and check it in the counter.
