Power Bank Hand Carry

[Icetray]

Hi,

I'm flying to Myanmar tomorrow. Is it okay to carry the xiaomi 10400mAh power bank with me?

Thank you

 

[sCuzzZy]

yes. Do not check in.

Fyi, Thailand limit hand carry power bank to below 30,000 mah.

100% cannot, need to hand carry.

If check in without knowing what will happen?

Customs will force open and check it, or confiscate it. your luggage will return with merely a black tape on the zip.

Learnt it the hard way in Zhangjiajie 4 years ago.

Hand carry also as dangerous?

If more than 30000mah, how?

still, beats having nobody notice a fire break out in the hull as compared to u having it close by or next to u through the flight.

I was told by the customs when I returned on that flight, that apparently due to residual heat on the battery/power bank, which we maybe unaware of, the power bank will actually 'glow' when your bags are being scanned. Which is why it was forced open to verify the item. Same as spare lithium batteries.

I have no ways of verifying such claims though.

bring a 10k mah powerbank and hand carry. any powerbank regardless of capacity cannot be put in luggage and check-in.

Interesting info. but does it mean that if the batteries are already discharged, can bring in?

Customs won't give a damn of whether or not you've discharge your batteries.
