Points for Using Portable Power Supplies Safely

  1. Choose a Reliable Manufacturer
    When selecting a portable power supply, choose products from a reliable manufacturer. You can check their website to see what designs and innovations have been implemented to ensure safety, and whether the company prioritizes safety in the first place. Additionally, the level of after-sales support can also be an indicator of safety.
  2. Follow Proper Usage Guidelines
    The correct way to use a portable power supply is to read and understand the manual thoroughly. In simple terms, a portable power supply is a rechargeable battery that can be carried around. If handled roughly and damaged internally, there is a possibility of it catching fire after some time.
    Also, when storing, be careful to avoid direct sunlight and extremely low temperatures. Places with drastic temperature changes, such as inside a car, are not suitable for storage.
  3. Do not use in environments exceeding the specified waterproof performance
    Some portable power supplies are equipped with waterproof performance. Since this is not a common specification for all products, be sure to check the waterproof level when using the portable power supply outdoors or in the rain. There are also different levels of waterproof performance, so do not use it in environments that exceed those levels.
  4. Be Careful Not to Get Electrocuted
    The output terminals of the portable power supply require the same caution as household outlets. Be careful not to operate it with wet hands to avoid electric shock, and ensure that children do not insert metal objects like wires to prevent short circuits.
