What will happen if you don't pick up your power bank within 7 days after temporary storage? Responses from major airports.

Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued an urgent notice stating that starting from June 28, passengers are prohibited from carrying power banks without a 3C logo, with unclear 3C logos, or of recalled models or batches on domestic flights.

During security checks, if a power bank does not meet the requirements for being taken on the plane, besides discarding it, how else can passengers dispose of it? New China Jingwei has learned that currently, some airports offer a 7 - day temporary storage service for power banks that cannot be taken on the plane.

On the 30th, the customer service of Beijing Daxing Airport and Capital Airport both told New China Jingwei that they do not currently provide temporary storage services for power banks without 3C certification, with unclear 3C certification logos, or of recalled models or batches. They also do not recommend that passengers carry such power banks. If passengers do carry them, they can choose to send them by express mail before the security check.

Regarding the express mail service for power banks, the customer service of Capital Airport said that passengers can choose SF Express for mailing, and the specific situation needs to be understood on - site. The customer service of Daxing Airport said that according to the airport's notes, before the security check, the express companies specially available for passengers to mail power banks with a rated energy of less than 20,000 mAh are SF Express and JD Logistics.

New China Jingwei has learned from the customer service of Shanghai Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport that currently, for power banks that do not meet the boarding requirements, there are temporary storage points in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of Pudong Airport, and only in Terminal 2 of Hongqiao Airport. The temporary storage service period at both Pudong and Hongqiao Airports is 7 days. The security check staff will assist passengers in completing the procedures.

The customer service of Hongqiao Airport reminded that Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are quite far apart, and it takes about 30 minutes to go back and forth to handle the temporary storage.

The customer service of Pudong Airport said that the temporary storage service is free, but passengers need to go to the designated place to pick up the power banks, and there is no mailing service. The customer service of Hongqiao Airport said that there are express companies in Terminal 2 of Hongqiao Airport, but whether they can mail power banks depends on the express companies.

The customer service of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport said that there are power bank storage areas in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Regarding express mail, according to the current information the customer service has, the SF Express outlet in the airport does not support individuals to mail lithium - battery power banks.

The staff of the service hotline of Shenzhen Bao'an Airport also said that the airport can provide a 7 - day temporary storage service for power banks, and the storage is free. The staff said that according to the requirements of SF Express, power banks of the Romoss and Anker brands are prohibited from being mailed regardless of whether they are within the recall range. Other brands of power banks can be mailed if they are not damaged or swollen.

The customer service of Capital Airport said that the security check will conduct unified recycling and disposal of the power banks voluntarily discarded by passengers.

Some netizens have questioned: What will happen if the power banks are not picked up after 7 days? In response, the customer service of Pudong Airport, Hongqiao Airport, Baiyun Airport, and Bao'an Airport said that power banks left unclaimed at the temporary storage areas after the due date will be regarded as automatically abandoned and will be uniformly disposed of or destroyed by the relevant airport departments.
