Could my power bank start a fire on board a plane? Here are the rules and the risks
Virgin Australia says it is considering changes to its rules around lithium batteries after a fire on a flight from Sydney was thought to have been caused by a power bank in a passenger's carry-on luggage. Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (Casa) has said the average passenger travels with at least four rechargeable lithium battery devices, which can be contained in smartphones, laptops and portable power banks. If you're wondering what the rules are, and why lithium-ion batteries are considered a risk on flights, here's a quick overview. Yes. But rules vary, so you should check the airline's restrictions before you fly. Generally, laptops and cameras can be packed in checked luggage as long as they are completely switched off, according to Casa. But spare batteries and power banks should only go into carry-on baggage because batteries and power banks can short circuit, overheat and catch fire during a flight. Lithium-ion batteries that exceed 160Wh are not permitted at all, unless they are used for mobility aids. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Smart bags with power banks or lithium-ion batteries are allowed as long as the battery can be removed before check-in and carried in a passenger's cabin baggage. Virgin Australia says any spare or loose batteries, including power banks, must be in carry-on baggage only and must be protected by placing them in their original retail packaging, or placing each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch, or taping over exposed terminals. Qantas says passengers travelling with power banks, including Apple AirPod cases, and spare or loose batteries, must only take them in carry-on baggage. The airline says it does not recommend the use or charging of power banks onboard due to safety. Several international airlines have banned the use of power banks on board, including Thai Airways, South Korean Airlines, EVA Air, Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Singapore Airlines and its budget subsidiary, Scoot. If you're flying with an international carrier, you should check its rules before your flight. Generally, passengers are required to pack their power banks in their carry-on luggage. But whether they can be used on the plane depends on the specific airline. Not necessarily. Prof Neeraj Sharma, a battery expert at the University of New South Wales, says lithium-ion batteries can have 20 different components, some of which are liquids, making them more volatile than other, solid parts such as the electrodes or casing. Applying pressure to a lithium-ion battery can lead to 'thermal runaway' – an uncontrollable increase in temperature – but a battery exploding is incredibly rare. Sharma says airlines still instruct people to carry batteries in their hand luggage as a way to mitigate risk, because there is a minimal pressure difference in a plane cabin compared to the baggage hold. Sharma says power banks and other lithium-ion battery devices that aren't as well regulated as mobile phones or laptops – such as e-scooters and vapes – pose more of a risk and may have lower quality batteries. Prof Amanda Ellis, the head of the University of Melbourne's School of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering, says lithium battery fires aren't more likely on planes. She says airline cabin pressure wouldn't get to the batteries because they are covered by 'multiple layers of casing' but any enclosed environment makes fires particularly dangerous, especially as a plane can't be evacuated mid-air. 'They give off a very toxic gas and in a confined space that's not ideal,' she says. Ellis says lithium-ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish because often the lithium metal catches on fire, along with all the casing and the plastic – high energy materials that can burn for much longer. 'You wouldn't want to put water on a lithium fire. And that's the first thing people [on a plane] might think of doing.' The batteries contain lithium ions suspended in an electrolyte solution. The ions flow through the electrolyte, travelling back and forth between two electrodes as the battery charges and discharges. Ellis says a common cause is from people overcharging their batteries, so they overheat, which results in thermal runaway. If there's too much energy in the battery, it can crack, causing the highly flammable electrolyte inside it to burst into flames when exposed to air. She says phones and other, more sophisticated lithium battery-powered devices have an internal 'trickle system' which slowly adds current into the battery to prevent overcharging. But cheaper power banks typically don't have this safeguard, Ellis says, making them more of a risk. 'Never charge your power bank overnight,' she says. 'Never charge it more than it has to be charged. In a way you've got to watch the power bank for when the light goes from red to green, and unplug it.' Ellis says that, overall, batteries are very safe if used appropriately and in the right conditions, and people shouldn't be worried about flying because of them.

Shoppers spot rare new Cadbury's chocolate bar on UK shelves combining two sweet treat favourites
EXCITED snack fans are in a frenzy after spotting a brand new bar, combining two popular flavours. Cadbury is one of the nation's best loved confectioners and is often wowing treat lovers with its inventive new chocolate flavours, such as Caramel Mudcake and Biscoff. Exciting new flavour And shoppers have recently discovered that Cadbury Dairy Milk Honeycomb & Peanut is available in the UK. Sharing a snap of the scrumptious treat to the Newfoodsuk Instagram account one shoppers said: "New Honeycomb & Peanut Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar! "Wow, the peanuts work so well with the creamy Cadbury chocolate!" The tasty treat is an import from Australia, and is being sold by World Snacks UK. It features mouthwatering chocolate, blended together with honeycomb and peanut pieces. Shoppers can buy the imported 100g bar for £4.99 from the World Snacks website. The post was flooded with comments from Instagram users, eager to try out the snack for themselves. One person said: "Sounds like a great combination for a chocolate bar." A second person said: "This gonna slap." A third added: "Why can't they sell this in shops!" 'So excited' say Cadbury Ireland fans as new chocolate bar flavour to hit shelves TODAY More new Cadbury flavours This comes as shoppers are racing to pick up a giant Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar on UK supermarket shelves - and are praising the "banging" flavour. The snack is a collaboration with iconic sweet treat giant Biscoff - and fans have rushed to fill their trolleys with the huge bar which they say is worth every penny. A Facebook user flagged the incredible find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. And it was discovered in major supermarket Tesco - with the store offering a 10 per cent discount to certain customers. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. The user posted a picture of the behemoth chocolate bar in their hand. They captioned the post: "New giant Biscoff Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar at Tesco." And the limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake has been spotted in budget retailer B&M, and sweet-toothed Brits are racing to get a taste. One eagle-eyed shopper shared the find on Facebook, posting: 'Cadbury Caramel mudcake spotted at B&M.' Others were quick to respond, with one user writing: 'I must try it ASAP' and another adding: 'I hope it's still there when I go.' The Caramel Mudcake bar doesn't appear to be stocked anywhere else in the UK, making it one of the rarest Cadbury imports around at the moment.
