Here’s a rewritten version of the article:
When traveling to China, it’s important to consider the unique technological requirements, such as the compatibility of your power bank with local regulations. Unlike the U.S. with Google Maps, Venmo, and Amazon, China utilizes Amap, Alipay, and Taobao. For flights in China, power banks must be carried in hand luggage and comply with specific energy limits. Crucially, they need CCC-certification, a safety mark analogous to Europe’s CE mark. Starting June 28, 2025, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) mandates CCC-certification for power banks on domestic flights due to past incidents involving battery fires. This rule may affect power banks bought outside China or those manufactured before 2024 in China. Without this certification, power banks may be confiscated at security checks on domestic flights. Travelers might opt to purchase CCC-certified power banks within China, though some compliant models are available in the U.S.
Belkin offers options like the Belkin BoostCharge Hybrid Wall Charger 25W + Power Bank 5K + Travel Adapter Kit, and SHARGE provides the Flow Mini 2, ICEMAG 2, Shargeek 140, and Shargeek 170, which are lightweight and vary in power capacity. Although INIU’s power banks lack CCC-certification, and Cygnett plans to introduce compliant models in Australia.
To ensure a smooth travel experience around China, particularly if traveling between cities via domestic flights, having a CCC-certified power bank is advisable.
