Allowed in carry-on — confirm the printed Wh label.

Operating carrier policy context

Air China CA

Confidence

Airline official

Air China is tracked from its official lithium-battery and power-bank passenger guidance image: power banks may be carried only in hand/carry-on baggage, must not be checked, should be protected against accidental activation, are allowed at 100 Wh or less, require airline approval over 100 Wh and up to 160 Wh, and are prohibited over 160 Wh.

Key constraints

Quantity
Not specified on the readable Air China guidance image; apply active route and baseline rules where stricter.
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
Allowed only as hand/carry-on baggage.
Checked baggage
Not permitted; the guidance marks checked baggage as not allowed for power banks.
Conditions

Conditions that apply to this verdict.

  • Carry-on only — never in checked baggage.

  • 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.

Notes

Recall coverage for this brand/model is not complete in CertiWatt; check the manufacturer and regulator recall pages before travel.

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

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.

  • CUKTECH CUKTECH 20 Power Bank 25000mAh 210W is recorded at 92.50 Wh and 25000 mAh, so the capacity check is tied to this exact catalog model.
  • Thailand departures use Wh-based passenger battery bands; mAh labels are treated as supporting capacity evidence.
  • Air China (CA) is evaluated as the operating carrier, with its published dangerous-goods policy included in the citation set.
  • CUKTECH CUKTECH 20 Power Bank 25000mAh 210W has no active recall link in this catalog record, so the verdict is driven by capacity, route, airline, label, and rule evidence.

Allowed in carry-on — confirm the printed Wh label.

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.
