For users who travel frequently, using support devices for laptops, tablets, phones, etc. such as backup chargers is indispensable.

However, if the backup battery is used incorrectly, it will be harmful to the health and life of the user.

Below are some things you need to keep in mind when using backup batteries to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

Choose to buy genuine backup battery

Genuine backup batteries will be equipped with safety technology to prevent sudden increases in battery temperature leading to explosions. At the same time, they also have better durability and can integrate standard fast charging mode, ensuring safety for users.

You can choose to buy backup batteries of some famous brands at large supermarket and store chains. These addresses always have a clear warranty policy in the form of 1 for 1 exchange (usually lasting 12 months) to confirm the quality, helping you feel more secure during use.

Choose battery capacity according to usage needs

Currently, there are many different capacity levels of backup batteries on the market. The higher the mAh of a backup battery, the more times it can be charged, but the size and weight of the battery will be larger than other types. Therefore, you should clearly define your needs to choose the right type.

Charge and store batteries properly

When you first buy a backup battery, for the first 3 charges you should charge it continuously for 10 - 12 hours, use up all the battery capacity and then charge it again. From the fourth use onwards you can charge and discharge the battery normally, but do not let the battery run out because it will easily lead to loss of power. You should only charge when the battery has only one notch left.

When the backup battery has been charged 30 times, you should let the battery run out once and then recharge it for 10-12 hours to regenerate energy, maintain battery life and limit battery damage. At the same time, you should limit charging and discharging the battery at the same time.

You should pay attention to using the correct output port with batteries that have 2 ports. Normally, the manufacturer will equip 2 different standards (usually 5V - 1A for phones and 5V - 2A for tablets). However, today's new smartphones can be charged using the 5V - 2A port.

In particular, the backup battery should be kept in a dry, cool place and should not be plugged in for too long to limit the risk of fire or explosion.
