Mine was 16000mAh ones. The thing I do not understand would be:

1. Clearly HKIA is CX's home base, HKIA and CX would know each other's restriction about batteries.

2. Why would HKIA still has to force me to get someone from CX to escort me to security and sign to confirm.

3. I asked CX about batteries at F check in counter flying J, and seems no one cares about what HKIA would do to me at security. There are couple of senior staff at F check in and it seems they've never heard any problems before.

So I guess I was the first one to bring 20 batteries through HKIA security, lucky I was there more than 2 hours before departure.
