Where interpretation is involved

  • max count: The cited page does not establish a power-bank count. We leave it unconfirmed; a departure airport may impose its own limit.

Conditions to check

  • Domestic flights in mainland China: 3C mark required.
  • The archived English notice contains ambiguous wording about cabin carriage. This record is incomplete and must not be treated as clearance.
