Is the Baseus Star-Lord Power Bank 22.5W 30000mAh allowed on AirAsia flights from China?
Short answer: Banned. 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 107 days old. Battery rules can change quickly; re-check close to departure before treating this verdict as current.

Operating carrier policy context
AirAsia AK
Confidence
Airline official
AirAsia is tracked from its official support article for portable electronic devices: power banks are treated separately from spare lithium batteries, are capped at two per guest, must be no more than 100 Wh per unit, are prohibited above 100 Wh, are prohibited in check-in luggage, must be carried in cabin baggage or on the person, cannot be stowed in overhead compartments, must be kept under the seat or in the seat pocket, and cannot be used or charged onboard.
Power banks up to 100 Wh are allowed; power banks over 100 Wh are prohibited.
Carry-on
Power banks are permitted only in cabin baggage or carried on the person when each unit is no more than 100 Wh, the guest carries no more than two units, and there are no signs of damage or defects.
This device is not cleared for this trip. If you switch to a compliant device, these route and airline handling rules still apply.
01
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.

Capacity evidence for this model
Auxiliary calculation
30,000 mAh × 3.7 V ÷ 1000 = 111.00 Wh
Threshold comparison
11.00 Wh over the passenger power-bank 100 Wh limit. Do not rely on the old generic 100-160 Wh approval band unless this airline and route explicitly apply it to power banks.
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.
Baseus Star-Lord Power Bank 22.5W 30000mAh is recorded at 111.00 Wh and 30000 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.
AirAsia (AK) is evaluated as the operating carrier, with its published dangerous-goods policy included in the citation set.
Baseus Star-Lord Power Bank 22.5W 30000mAh has no active recall link in this catalog record, so the verdict is driven by capacity, route, airline, label, and rule evidence.
Not permitted on 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.)

What to prepare before security
Keep the power bank in cabin baggage only, never checked baggage.
Make sure the Wh or mAh label is readable, or keep the manufacturer specification page available.
Use the linked citations below if staff ask why the device was flagged.
How to handle this verdict at airport security
For Conditional or Banned results, prepare evidence before you reach screening and keep the conversation factual.
1
Prepare battery documents
Have a readable Wh label or clear mAh/voltage label, any required 3C certificate or 3C mark for China-related screening, and the manufacturer specification or proof page saved offline.
2
Explain it clearly at screening
Say that the item is a lithium-ion power bank for cabin baggage only, show the Wh rating and manufacturer evidence, and point to the relevant airline or regulator citation if staff ask.
3
If it is refused, escalate safely
Ask for the specific reason, request airline or security supervisor review if available, and be ready to leave the device behind, ship it separately where legal, or use a compliant replacement. Do not move a rejected power bank into checked baggage.

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.
