A fully collapsible manual-powered wheelchair may be carried as your carry-on baggage, but it may be loaded in the cargo compartment at the airline's discretion if there is no stowing space available in the cabin. Battery-powered wheelchairs can only be carried as checked baggage in the cargo compartment if the battery is disconnected, terminals are insulated and the battery is securely attached to the wheelchair, which should always be loaded in an upright position.
