People who travel frequently or spend most of their time away from home need a power bank to charge their mobile phones. Furthermore, even ordinary users charge their phones with power banks. Power banks offer the convenience of charging anywhere, but frequent use can damage the phone's battery. Let's explore the risks of charging with a power bank.

Impacts Battery Life

Using a power bank is fine in emergency situations, but continuously charging your phone with it can reduce battery life. This risk is even greater for iPhone users. Constantly charging your phone with a power bank will put a greater strain on the battery cells, reducing both charging speed and backup.

Overheating can cause an explosion.

Power banks take longer to charge batteries. This puts your phone at risk of overheating. If overheating exceeds a certain limit, there's a risk of the phone exploding. Therefore, charging your phone with a power bank should be avoided whenever possible.

Power banks also have their dangers.

If you frequently travel by air, you need to be extra careful with your power bank. Recently, there have been several incidents of power banks catching fire on flights. In light of this, Emirates Airlines has banned the use of power banks on flights. The Indian government is also finalizing regulations in this regard and may ban the use of power banks during air travel. Therefore, charging your phone or other devices with a power bank should be avoided in areas where restrictions are in place.
