Buying 3C power bank at Beijing Capital Airport

Question

We will be arriving at Beijing Capital Airport and want to buy 3C certified power banks. Is there any store in terminal 3 at the airport? If not, is there store close by? We will be staying at Hilton Beijing Capital Airport. Looking forward to our trip!!

Answer

Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) Terminal 3 is one of the largest terminals in Asia and has a good range of electronics and travel accessory shops, but finding a dedicated store selling 3C-certified power banks can depend on the time of day and which section of the terminal you are in. “3C” refers to China’s Compulsory Certification, meaning any power bank sold legally in China should carry this mark (usually printed on the back or packaging).

Inside Terminal 3, you can find general electronic and travel accessory outlets that occasionally stock power banks from approved brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei, or Anker. These are typically located in the departure and arrival retail zones. After you exit Customs (in the Arrivals Hall, public area), there are convenience stores and tech counters where small portable chargers are often sold.

Recommended areas to check within Terminal 3:

Relay convenience stores – these shops often sell small travel gadgets, USB cables, and sometimes power banks from reliable local brands. You can find them in both international and domestic Arrivals areas.
Digital accessory shops near Gate E10 and E20 – some of these stores carry electronics accessories such as adapters, cables, and chargers that meet 3C certification standards.
Airport Duty-Free Lifestyle stores – occasionally stock branded electronic items, but availability of power banks varies.

If you cannot find a suitable model inside the terminal, there are convenient alternatives very close to your hotel. The Hilton Beijing Capital Airport is located just a few minutes from Terminal 3 (connected by shuttle). Near the hotel, there are several local convenience stores and small electronics outlets that carry 3C-certified products.

Nearby options include:

JD.com Pick-Up Store (京东便利店) – about 5 minutes from the Hilton by taxi; sells Xiaomi and Baseus power banks, all with 3C certification.
Suning or Gome (苏宁 / 国美) – large electronics chains that stock genuine 3C-approved chargers and power banks. The nearest branch is in Shunyi District, roughly a 15–20 minute drive from the airport.
Airport Convenience Stores (such as 7-Eleven or FamilyMart near Hilton) – may carry compact 3C-marked power banks for travelers.

When buying a power bank in China, make sure to check the following to comply with both airline and safety regulations:

The capacity should not exceed 27,000 mAh (100 Wh) for carry-on use. Larger ones are not allowed on planes.
Look for the 3C logo (a circular mark with “CCC”) on the device or packaging.
Buy only from recognized brands (e.g., Xiaomi, Anker, Huawei, Baseus, ROMOSS) to ensure product authenticity and safety compliance.

In summary, you will likely find small selections of power banks at Relay or electronic counters in Terminal 3, but if you want more choice or specific 3C-certified models, visiting a nearby JD store or Suning outlet near the Hilton Beijing Capital Airport will be your best option. All locations are easily accessible within 10–20 minutes from the terminal, making it convenient for newly arrived travelers.
