Power Bank Safety Tips: The fear of our smartphone battery dying nowadays forces us to always carry a power bank with us. Whether traveling or going to the office, this small device has become an essential part of our daily lives. However, sometimes using it incorrectly or using local and cheap power banks increases the risk of fire or explosion. Therefore, if you use a power bank daily, it is crucial to know these four important safety tips to stay safe. Let's learn about these safety tips...

Do not leave it in the sun or drop it from a height.
The lithium-ion battery in a power bank is highly flammable and prone to explosion, so it should be kept away from heat. Therefore, never leave your power bank in the sun or drop it from a height, as this can damage the battery. Also, if your power bank is quite old, replace the battery in time or use a new power bank. Old lithium-ion batteries become dangerous over time and can cause accidents.

Check the ports
Before charging your phone or power bank, carefully check the ports. Especially during the rainy season, the risk of short circuits increases due to moisture. Therefore, clean the ports thoroughly with a dry cloth before charging. Doing so will ensure that the power bank or other devices charge safely and reduce the risk of damage.

Charge the power bank with the correct charger.
When charging a power bank, it is very important to keep its charging capacity in mind. Generally, a standard charger of 10W to 22.5W is considered suitable for a power bank. If your power bank supports fast charging, you can also charge it with a fast charger. Using the correct charger ensures that the power bank charges safely and quickly.

Pay attention to overheating.
While charging the power bank, periodically check if it is overheating. If the power bank overheats significantly during charging, immediately disconnect it from the charger. Doing so can prevent accidents such as fires or explosions.
