Core Viewpoint - The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has issued an emergency notice prohibiting passengers from carrying non-compliant power banks on domestic flights due to safety concerns related to lithium batteries and recent incidents of fire and smoke caused by these devices [1][2][3]. Group 1: Reasons for the Emergency Notice - Frequent incidents of power bank fires pose a serious threat to aviation safety, with 15 reported cases in 2025 alone, including significant incidents involving aircraft damage [2]. - Lithium batteries are inherently dangerous and can easily lead to internal short circuits and thermal runaway under external stressors, resulting in rapid ignition and explosion [2]. - Quality issues with power banks are prevalent, with a 43.6% non-compliance rate found in a recent inspection of 149 batches, highlighting the risks associated with substandard products [3]. Group 2: Lack of Grace Period - The absence of a grace period for the ban on non-compliant power banks is due to the immediate safety risks posed by recalled and non-3C certified products, which have not undergone necessary quality checks [4]. - The CAAC emphasizes a zero-tolerance approach to safety hazards, necessitating immediate action to prevent unsafe products from entering the aviation transport system [3][4]. Group 3: Handling of Confiscated Power Banks - Airports will establish designated areas for passengers to abandon or temporarily store confiscated power banks, with clear procedures for disposal or recycling to prevent market re-entry [6]. - Confiscated power banks that exceed the storage period will be uniformly destroyed or processed in collaboration with battery recycling companies, ensuring traceability and preventing unauthorized handling [6].
