They do that. There's a reason you're not allowed to put a lithium battery in your checked luggage on any sane airline: At least in the cabin, it is seen and can be addressed immediately. Personal opinion: It shouldn't even be in the overhead, though: You bring a L-Ion battery on a plane, you put it on your crotch.
It is a China L, but these rules are already in place because they know these things do happen often enough to bother to make rules about it.
We probably need regulations about who can produce lithium batteries, with rigorous safety testing, but it's going to take a tragedy to get them.
Also it'll totally screw over consumers. I have an older laptop and the battery is starting to not hold a charge. Official replacements are not available (they want you to buy a new laptop), so I'm stuck ordering chinese mystery explosives off of amazon. Battery regulations will just be planned obsolescence codified into law.
China has “regulations” stating every single domestic airplane passenger can only bring china made powerbanks onto the plane. Thats how fucked up they are
Look up the ccc requirement for powerbanks intrachina
haha the approved powerbanks have to have bunch of certifications , but that doesn't do anything to stop them from self immolation because the certification process is corrupt and nonsensical, and suppliers are inconsistent in quality control, all it takes is a bad supplier cutting corners with substandard parts to foul up the entire batch
Yeah I know, I'm just saying it's just another make busy Chinese policy that doesn't solve the problem. Also are there even other countries that make powerbanks
Probably rare. The issue is that china recognises no other certifications except their own crap one , the ccc, and the ccc is like you said corrupt and nonsensical. Its literally just to get people to buy their domestic goods
It’s a risk in any Lithium ion battery, but particularly in low quality and poorly manufactured ones.
By now most or many people have dozens of Lithium-ion batteries in their homes. Nintendo Switch? Smart watch? Cell phone? Laptop? Rechargeable Li-ion AA/AAA batteries? Yard tools (mower, leafblower, string timmer, saw, etc.)? Car? Other crap small electronics?
It’s probably a miracle we don’t see MORE structure fires caused by batteries.
The risks for small batteries are infinitesimal. There's billions (or trillions?) of them out there but they rarely go up in flames.
The bigger they get? The more common immolation gets. Thus huge EV batteries & even worse: grid storage batteries are far more likely to erupt.
Add to that: cheap and crappy ones & things get even worse.
Yeah, I've been meaning to dig up some of my old lipos that I know are going to go off soon, problem is I can't for the life of me find the one I'm looking for and I've been looking for years.

Poor Samsung Galaxy 6 was just happy to be going home :`(
Idiot. I’ve had to purchase these types of batteries for hobby stuff before, they’ve all got giant DO NOT SHIP BY AIR stickers all over them.

Fuck off, the batteries are fine we don't need more regulations, shit happens.

I like how the passengers are acting out the "this is fine" meme.
