100WHR max has been a standard by many countries for a long time, the USA had it for a while just not enforced like many other things.

I forget this board doesn't travel really it's just holiday in bangkok with the lads

I fail to see how this could ever inconvenience anyone in any meaningful way.
Maybe if you're on a 10+ hour flight and are so cucked you NEED to work on your laptop the entire time, but for most people, just watch a movie or go to sleep

The two power bank limit is new across Asia just over the past couple months. Also, you are no longer allowed to use your power bank on the plane. Have fun on those 14 hour international flights lol

Korea has had this for the better part of 2 years, Hong Kong China and Taipei as well. Hawaiian air also checks your shit too and tell people specifically not to use power banks in flight

Blame chinks for making garbage that explodes with a slight pressure change.

Do you even fly?

It's one more fucking rule to remember, out of the 15 carry-on rules already in place. That is a meaningful inconvenience even if you don't usually carry a powerbank. (People who change their flight routines are most likely to forget about one of the gazillion rules as to which item goes in which bag.)

I’m a pilot, fire is basically the one thing we cannot do anything about. They are paranoid about it for that reason.

>instead of three poorly made chink power banks, you can only have two poorly made chink power banks
Keep it mind it starts with two. Next year or the year after, it will be down to one. Then, there will be some highly publicized incident because Ngubu from Nigeria had a chink power bank charging his airpods in his check-in bag that caught fire and then they're completely banned

What cheap ass airline are you flying where you can't just use seat back power?

Most European airlines have had this since January.

>>2890260
the funny thing is that for internal flights in China now you can only have CCC certified power banks, meaning that a CE power bank made in China would get confiscated despite the fact that the CE certification has stricter standards than the 3C ones

Stop telling indians to charge their fucking phones and laptop with airplane power then. How hard is it to reinforce it?

>>2890210
I mean, my laptop's internal battery lasts 10 hours, and I've never seen a "powerbank" that puts out 19 volts so I could recharge it.

>Taipei as well
EVA makes damn sure that I don't have lithium batteries in any of my checked baggage. It's been a thing ever since Samsung had that phone/tablet with defective batteries that were catching on fire at random, including in a few cases while onboard an aircraft. That was around 2016, IIRC.

This is a good thing. I don't want some stupid asshole's phone catching on fire in the cargo hold and killing everyone onboard an aircraft.

Show tits, or whatever it is you have to do to prove you're a pilot around here.

>>2890323
I don't think I've ever seen "seat back power" on any aircraft I've taken. Are you one of those business-class richfags?

>>2890212
How exactly are they gonna enforce this? Just put the phone + bank charging in the seat pocket

>How exactly are they gonna enforce this?
dude you know they scan your luggage before you get on the plane right
also flight crews have human eyeballs

100whr is plenty. Even oversized personal battery packs top out at 74wh, most are 37wh or under

>dude you know they scan your luggage before you get on the plane right
The rule is "no power bank use on board", not "no power banks allowed on board". You can still take them on the plane, just not use them.
>also flight crews have human eyeballs
They can see the inside of a seat pouch? Or things under blankets and clothes?

>>2890563
its a new authority flex as they loosen up pre boarding security. just like banning some devices during takeoff. if there was any chance it would intervere with flight operations they wouldnt let you have them on the flight at all. cant even trust people not to shit on the bathroom floor for christ sake.

People who carry these things around are weirdos

>>2890603
too bad that if i arrive at the airoport with a low battery phone i can't even board the plane
thanks ryanair

If that's your fear that's understandable. It's actually retarded how reliant everything is in smartphones
