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.

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.
