We expose a fundamental nonlinear electronic transport symmetry in spatially symmetric Aharonov-Bohm interferometers subjected to inelastic scattering effects, proving that its odd (even) conductance terms are even (odd) in the magnetic field. This observation does not hold when a spatial (left-right) asymmetry is introduced, as we show numerically. Under elastic dephasing effects, the Onsager-Casimir symmetry is maintained beyond linear response and under spatial asymmetries.
