Tips for using portable power supplies safely
1 Choose a reliable manufacturer
When choosing a portable power source, choose one from a reliable manufacturer. You can check the company's website to see what kind of design and ingenuity they have put in place to ensure safety, and whether or not the company prioritizes safety in the first place. Additionally, the level of after-sales support is also an indicator of safety.
2 Follow proper usage instructions
Please read the instructions carefully to understand how to use the portable power supply correctly. Simply put, a portable power source is a storage battery that can be carried around. If you handle it roughly and damage it internally, there is a possibility that it will catch fire over time.
Also, when storing, be careful to avoid direct sunlight and avoid places with extremely low temperatures. It is not suitable for storing inside a car where the temperature changes rapidly.
3 Do not use in environments exceeding the specified waterproof performance.
Some portable power supplies are also waterproof. Since the specifications are not common to all products, be sure to check the waterproof level when using a portable power supply outdoors or in the rain. There are also levels of waterproof performance, so please do not use it in environments that exceed these levels.
4 Be careful not to get an electric shock
Portable power supply output terminals require the same care as residential electrical outlets. Be careful not to get an electric shock by operating it with wet hands, or to avoid short-circuiting by children inserting metal objects such as wire.
