Is the Anker A1695 ANKER POWER BANK 25000mah 165w allowed on Asiana Airlines flights from China?

Short answer: Insufficient data. Below is the citation-backed reasoning, the specific conditions if any, and what to do at security.

Main reason: mainland China departure screening requires readable 3C / CCC evidence for the physical power bank, and this catalog record does not have verified 3C evidence.

Ruleset age warning: This ruleset is 32 days old. Battery rules can change quickly; re-check close to departure before treating this verdict as current.

We do not have enough data to give a confident verdict for this flight. (CertiWatt has no verified 3C / CCC evidence for this catalog model or manual device entry. This does not prove the physical unit lacks 3C; check the body label or official certificate / QR evidence before deciding.)

Operating carrier policy context

Asiana Airlines OZ

Confidence

Airline official

Asiana is tracked from its official April 17, 2026 notice: power banks are prohibited in checked baggage, limited to two units, 100-160 Wh units require airline approval, over-160 Wh units are prohibited, and onboard use/charging plus overhead-bin storage are prohibited.

Source tier: officialchecked: 2026-06-10effective: 2026-04-20

Key constraints

Quantity
Up to two power banks.
Watt-hour limit
Power banks: plan around the 2026 passenger-facing 100 Wh limit. Generic 100-160 Wh lithium-battery approval language is not shown as a power-bank allowance unless the airline source explicitly says so.
Carry-on
Carry-on only and must remain accessible; do not store in overhead bins.
Checked baggage
Prohibited in checked baggage.
Conditions

Conditions that apply to this verdict.

  • CertiWatt has no verified 3C / CCC record for this catalog model. Check the physical power-bank body for a clear 3C / CCC mark or official certificate / QR evidence before deciding.

  • Do not charge using the seat USB port.

  • Maximum 2 power banks per passenger.

  • Carry-on only — never in checked baggage.

  • Korea/Korean-carrier handling must be confirmed: keep the power bank accessible, out of overhead bins, and do not charge it from aircraft power.

  • Do not store the power bank in the overhead bin.

  • This unit is within 5 Wh of the 100 Wh limit. Security may read the label or recompute from mAh; keep the Wh label visible.

  • Derived from mAh: 90.0 Wh at 3.6 V, 92.5 Wh at 3.7 V. Printed label takes precedence.

  • Power bank must not be stored in the overhead bin. Keep it in your seat pocket, on your person, or under the seat.

Notes

This trip touches Korea or a Korean carrier. Confirm the power bank can stay accessible, out of overhead bins, and not be charged from aircraft power before treating the verdict as cleared.

Wh value (92.50) is within 5 Wh of the 100 Wh threshold. Keep the printed Wh label or manufacturer specification available.

CertiWatt has no verified 3C / CCC record for this model or manual entry. This is an evidence gap, not proof that the physical unit lacks 3C.

Source monitor

Global source-monitor health is tracked on the compliance page; this verdict page only shows the citations actually used for this answer.

Citation freshness: The weakest source freshness is 43 days old against a 21-day airline SLA; re-check close to departure before relying on this verdict.

Why this verdict

CertiWatt evaluates the product capacity, departure jurisdiction, operating carrier, published dangerous-goods policy, and active recall evidence before returning a verdict.

Capacity evidence for this model

Auxiliary calculation
25,000 mAh × 3.7 V ÷ 1000 = 92.50 Wh
Threshold comparison
7.50 Wh below the passenger power-bank 100 Wh limit. The printed Wh label still takes precedence over mAh estimates.

Route-specific signals

These page-specific checks make this verdict about this model, this departure country, and this airline, not a generic power-bank answer.

  • Anker A1695 ANKER POWER BANK 25000mah 165w is recorded at 92.50 Wh and 25000 mAh, so the capacity check is tied to this exact catalog model.
  • China departures can trigger China 3C evidence checks in addition to Wh limits.
  • Asiana Airlines (OZ) is evaluated as the operating carrier, with its published dangerous-goods policy included in the citation set.
  • Anker A1695 ANKER POWER BANK 25000mah 165w has no active recall link in this catalog record, so the verdict is driven by capacity, route, airline, label, and rule evidence.

We do not have enough data to give a confident verdict for this flight. (CertiWatt has no verified 3C / CCC evidence for this catalog model or manual device entry. This does not prove the physical unit lacks 3C; check the body label or official certificate / QR evidence before deciding.)

Common questions for this exact trip

Is this a guarantee at the airport?

No. This is an informational verdict based on published sources. Airline and security staff retain final authority.

Why can the same power bank get different answers by country or airline?

Power-bank rules combine global battery limits with country overlays, airline policies, storage rules, and recall notices.

When should I re-check this route?

Re-check close to departure, especially when the trip involves China, Thailand, Korea, a recalled model, or a battery near a capacity limit.
