Overview
- Changi Airport Group said gate checks Wednesday across about 275 flights led travelers to surrender at least 15 excess power banks.
- The rule limits each passenger to two rechargeable battery packs in carry-on bags.
- CAAS also bans charging power banks or using them to charge devices during flights.
- ICAO's update covers batteries up to 100Wh and keeps the two-unit cap for 100–160Wh packs that need airline approval.
- Before the change, travelers could carry up to 20 power banks under 100Wh, so many frequent flyers may need to pare down or discard extras at the gate.
