Power bank explodes in backpack, reignites and scares airport guard!
MT:
Female at airport on her way to enter a flight to somewhere. Is it allowed to carry on power banks onto flights?
TheAmmoniacal:
Powerbank are allowed if they are less than 100 Wh per battery (powerbank are typically 25-100 Wh).
I do hope they have a metal bin on planes in case on starts smoking onboard.
MT:
So what size could this bank been? This bank could easily set the flight on fire!
Edit:
Well, tests with various metal cases have been done but even designated batt boxes seams to cause loads of smokes and even enables ejects of hot glowing matters all to cause complete passenger chaos on a flight!
TheAmmoniacal:
Most likely a 10 000 mAh one (or 50 Wh assuming 5V). Could easily bring this one with you onto the plane.
MT:
I managed to post this in the wrong section, should be General Chat! Sorry! Perhaps a mod could move it over?
