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

The approved powerbanks are all chinanese

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