Dos and Don’ts When You Use a Power Bank 
Like Us on Facebook
Modern gadgets are power hungry. Our increasingly busy lives mean a dead battery can leave you disconnected from life, work, and your daily routine. Portable chargers and power banks will keep you from getting stranded when you’re on the go and without a convenient charging source. They are ideal for recharging your smartphones and similar devices wherever you are when you find yourself low on power.


As with all electrical and electronic devices, it’s important to treat them with respect and care to ensure they continue to work properly and safely.

With this in mind, we advise you to think about some general Dos and Don’ts to help keep you safe when using power banks and portable chargers:





1. Do use the power pack only for its intended use. E.g. to recharge your mobile phone or other USB powered mobile devices.
2. Do keep away from heat sources and liquids - direct sunlight, humidity or water.
3. Do only use connecting cables provided with the battery pack and your mobile device.
4. Do supervise children using battery packs.





1. Don’t expose to extreme temperatures of hot or cold.  For example, do not leave it in a parked car where it could get very cold in winter or very hot in summer.
2. Don’t leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
3. Don’t store battery packs where they may short-circuit by conductive material - such as in your pocket or bag with coins or keys.
4. Don’t drop or roughly handle battery packs. They are robust but not indestructible.
5. Don't cover when charging. Charge in a well-ventilated environment.
6. Don't charge battery packs overnight or whilst you are out of the house. Most portable battery packs do not support charging and discharging at the same time.
7. Don’t dismantle or attempt to repair faulty battery packs.
In the event of a cell leaking, don't allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with water and seek medical advice.

Note: Most power banks and bars use lithium-Ion chemistry batteries that will naturally get warm due to high currents flowing during charge and discharge cycles.  It is normal for them to feel warm to touch, but if they are too hot to handle, do not use and seek advice from the manufacturer.

10 common misconceptions about mobile device batteries Like Us on Facebook Have you run into a few old-school users with antiquated ideas about how to treat smartphone batteries? Here are several myths worth debunking. Ah, the mobile battery ─ a thing of myth, of legend... of frustration. So much sway does battery life hold over us that we buy specific phones that guarantee us a couple of days' usage. And all of this when other devices can eke out a week's worth of usage (think Amazon Kindle). Users go to some strange measures to keep their batteries going and going and going. Yet much of what we hear about mobile batteries is simply not true. Let's examine some of these misconceptions about the batteries that power the devices we depend upon day in and day out. 1: Batteries have "memory" Nope. Not at all. People used to think that you had to "train" your battery to make sure it would take the most charge. To do that, people w...

How to Revive a Cell Phone Battery (2) Like Us on Facebook In a previous blog, I introduced a method of How to Revive a Cell Phone Battery. Now I will introduce you another method. Let’s go. Method 2--Freezing the Battery 1. Remove the battery from your phone. 2. Place it inside a sealed plastic bag in addition to a sealed plastic container. This will prevent it from getting wet. Do not use paper bags or foils as water can easily penetrate these materials. 3. Place the sealed battery inside the freezer, and leave it overnight or at least 12 hours. By exposing the battery to low temperatures such as the inside of a freezer, it allows the battery cells to recharge a little, enough to hold sufficient charge to be connected to a phone charger. 4. Remove the battery from the freezer. Allow it to warm up to room temperature. Do NOT use the battery while it’s still cold. 5. Wipe any moisture off of the battery. ...
