Can Power Banks Be Left in Cars?
1 Answers
Power banks should not be left in cars for extended periods as it poses significant risks. A power bank is a portable charger that individuals can carry with them, capable of storing electrical energy primarily for charging handheld mobile devices and other consumer electronics (such as wireless phones and laptops), especially in situations where external power sources are unavailable. Here are the reasons why power banks should not be stored in cars: 1. Battery: Power banks typically contain lithium-ion batteries. 2. High interior temperatures: Under direct sunlight, the enclosed environment inside a car can reach temperatures exceeding 80 degrees Celsius. 3. Risk of explosion: Batteries are prone to exploding under high temperatures. 4. Health hazards: Even if they do not explode, prolonged exposure can cause lithium-ion batteries to negatively impact human health.
