Can Power Banks Be Left in the Car?

Power banks should not be left in the car for extended periods. Here are the reasons why power banks should not be stored in vehicles: Battery: Power banks typically use lithium-ion batteries, which have relatively unstable chemical properties. Whether due to thermal expansion and contraction, self-discharge of battery cells, or impacts and drops, there is always a chance of issues arising at any time—though the probability is low, it's not worth the risk. High interior temperatures: Under direct sunlight, temperatures inside a closed vehicle can exceed 80°C, making battery explosions more likely in high heat. Health hazards: Prolonged storage of lithium-ion batteries can negatively impact human health.
