The photographs in this case study document a power bank failure in a home office. The damaged power bank, scorched wall, shelving and floor show how quickly a small battery failure can affect nearby papers and furnishings.
Reduce the chance of a charging incident
Use the charger and charging instructions specified for your device. Keep charging batteries away from papers, bedding and other combustible materials. Stop using a pack that is swollen, damaged, unusually hot or behaving differently from normal.
Do not turn battery damage into a DIY repair
Do not open, puncture or try to rebuild a damaged lithium pack. If a battery is smoking or burning, move away, warn others and call emergency services. Do not risk injury trying to save the battery or device.
For a replacement, bring the device model and battery information to Battery Giant Rochester Hills. Call before transporting a damaged pack so the team can discuss appropriate handling and recycling options.
