From now on, <strong>external batteries will no longer be allowed in the hold<\/strong>, and will be subject to strict controls in the cabin. This is a regulatory change that business travellers need to anticipate.  <\/p>\n<h2>Powerbanks: what Chinese regulations say<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caac.gov.cn\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Civil Aviation Administration of China<\/a> now imposes the following rules: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Powerbanks must be carried in the cabin only<\/li>\n<li>Their capacity must be less than or equal to 100 Wh<\/li>\n<li>Clear marking indicating this capacity is mandatory<\/li>\n<li>Batteries must be declared for safety inspection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the event of non-compliance (lack of marking, excess capacity, damaged battery), security personnel may seize the device. Some airlines go even further, prohibiting the use of portable chargers during the flight. <\/p>\n<h2>Why this measure affects business travelers<\/h2>\n<p>As professionals on the move, you are often equipped with smartphones, laptops, tablets and connected watches. <strong>The ban on powerbanks in China<\/strong> means that you need to check the compliance of all your recharging accessories before each departure. <\/p>\n<p>You should also plan ahead when making connections: even a simple transit in Beijing or Shanghai may involve stricter controls. It&#8217;s advisable to travel with a clearly labeled, certified battery, and to limit the number of batteries. <\/p>\n<h3>Good to know before embarking<\/h3>\n<p>Here are a few tips to avoid any inconvenience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose an approved powerbank model with readable capacity<\/li>\n<li>Carry it in your carry-on bag, never in the hold.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid cheap or uncertified models<\/li>\n<li>If in doubt, contact your company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Delta Voyages accompanies you<\/h2>\n<p>Our travel experts monitor regulatory developments in real time.
