Power Bank Safety Guidelines

Preventing Fire and Overheating Risks

Power banks are convenient and safe when used correctly. To reduce the risk of fire, overheating, or damage, always follow the safety guidelines below—especially when charging your power bank.

Use Only Certified Charging Adapters (Most Important)

  • Always charge power banks with certified adapters (such as UL, CE, FCC, BIS, or equivalent regional certifications).

  • Avoid cheap, unbranded, or counterfeit chargers, which may deliver unstable voltage and cause overheating or fire.

  • Use adapters that match the voltage and current ratings specified by the power bank manufacturer.

  • Do not use damaged, loose, or modified adapters or cables.

  • Always use the cables that are provided with the product to ensure proper voltage recognition.

Charge Safely

  • Place the power bank on a flat, non-flammable surface while charging.

  • Keep it away from beds, sofas, paper, or other combustible materials.

  • Do not charge power banks overnight or unattended.

  • Disconnect the power bank once it is fully charged.

Avoid Overheating

  • Never cover a power bank while charging.

  • Do not charge or store power banks in hot environments (e.g., inside a car, near heaters, or under direct sunlight).

  • Stop using the power bank immediately if it becomes excessively hot, swollen, emits odor, or makes unusual sounds.

Handle With Care

  • Do not drop, crush, puncture, or disassemble power banks.

  • Keep power banks away from water, moisture, and corrosive substances.

  • Do not use power banks with visible damage or leakage.

Storage and Transportation

  • Store power banks in a cool, dry place.

  • Keep them partially charged (around 40–60%) for long-term storage.

  • Do not carry damaged or recalled power banks.

Proper Disposal

  • Never throw power banks into household trash.

  • Dispose of them at authorized battery recycling centers.

  • Follow local regulations for lithium-ion battery disposal.

Fire Emergency Instructions

  • If a power bank catches fire, move away immediately and ensure personal safety.

  • Do not attempt to handle a burning or smoking power bank.

  • Call your local fire department immediately for professional assistance.

  • If safe to do so, evacuate the area and alert others nearby.

Important Reminder

Using certified charging adapters is one of the most effective ways to prevent power bank fires.
When in doubt, always use the adapter supplied by the manufacturer or a certified replacement.
