The concerns of the aerolídenies Before the use of batterías portáTiles or Power Banks inside the planes, generating new prohibitions and restrictions.
They are already two airlineíNeas that have suffered a fire on a battería, At least I remember the recent case of KLM and Air Busan a few months ago and the concernón is increasing throughout the industry toérea.
Incendins for beatingílithium ace is not new, and cases in the aviationón and other instances of life have seen them in news several times, But what happens in an avión is a greater risk to pass in your home, for instance.
AerolíNeas advance the restricción de power banks / to knockías portáTiles in flight
Of course, that if it happens in your house the same is worrying, Do not believe that I am minimizing a fire, But imagínate that I know an eventí a 30 thousand feet high. The idea of this publicationón is not generating fear, but yesí that we become aware of your use and responsible possession when we fly.
I am one of the recurring batter usersíthe external, When I travel I record my experiences and that consumes a lot of battería, So I always travel with one in my backpack to keep my teams loaded and be able to continue working, But there are alerts and restrictions that we must start taking us seriously.
There are several airlineíNeas that isán restricting its use as Southwest and in cases as in China, I won't be able toás do not even pass security filters in case your Power Bank does not meet local requirements.
The más recent case and alert has generated it Emirates, which has implementedá Since November PRóXimo the restriccióN BATER USEías.
The new Emirates regulations
Let's use, as I recommendedón, These regulations of Emirates Like the new estáWearing to travel with our batterías:
- Customers can carry a batteríexternal to less than 100 watts-room.
- You can't use batteríexternal as to load personal devices on board.
- It is not allowed to load a batteríto external with the food sourceón of the avión.
- All batteríexternal as accepted for transport must have the information availableón about your capacity.
- THE BATERíexternal as they cannot be placed in the upper avi compartmentón; Now they must be placed in the seat pocket or in a bag under the front seat.
- Batter is not allowedíexternal in the billed luggage (current standard).
¿Becauseé Power Banks are dangerous?
After an exhaustive revisionósecurity number, Emirates Eastá adopting a firm and proactive posture to mitigate the risk related to batteríthe external on board. In the úlast toños, A significant increase in the use of batter has been observedíexternal customers, What has caused an increase in Númere of incidents related to batterílithium ace on board throughout the aeron industryáutica.
THE BATERíExternal uses mainly beatingílithium ions or polílithium mere, and its functionón is that of a batter packageías portáto Diseñado to recharge devices anywhere. THE BATERíAs containing lithium ions suspended in a solutionón electrolíethics. The ions flow throughés of the electrolyte, traveling between two electrodes as the battería load and download. If the batteríthe overload theña, A leak may occurérhyme. The leak téRMICA IN THE BATERíso is a self -treated process in which generationón heat inside a cell exceeds its dissipation capacityón, which causes an increase ráI ask and uncontrollable temperature. This can have dangerous consequences such as fires, Explosions and Liberationón de gases tóboys.
The biggestíA of the Telésophisticated phones and devices that work with batterías lithium have an internal drip system thatñSlowly current to battería to avoid overload, But many batterías portátiles básicas may not have this protectionón, What increases risk. All batterías portátiles isán subject to new standards aboard Emirates.
This regulation reduceá significantly the risks associated with batterías portátiles by prohibiting its use aboard the avión. Save the batterías portátiles in accessible places within the cab guarantees that, In the improbable fire case, the crewón of trained cabin can answer rápiably and extinguish the fire.
