Will a power bank explode if left in a hot car?
1 Answers
It is highly possible because most power banks contain lithium batteries. When exposed to high temperatures inside a car, the chemical reactions within the lithium battery may become more intense due to the heat, potentially leading to combustion or even explosion. Additionally, the following items can also pose safety hazards if left in a car. Here are more details: Carbonated drinks: Carbonated beverages contain large amounts of carbon dioxide gas. After being shaken during driving and then exposed to high temperatures, they are also likely to explode. Lighters: Lighters are also flammable and explosive items. Exposure to high temperatures can cause them to spontaneously ignite or explode.
