Powerbank exploded in a room with a sleeping child in Crimea

In the Crimea, a power bank exploded in a children’s room, which was lying in a closet with clothes. This is what Regnum writes about.

A local resident said that loud cotton was heard in the middle of the night. The child woke up from a sharp sound, was frightened and called the adults.

It turned out that the portable battery exploded. He wasn't connected to an outlet or phone. Despite the fact that there were clothes and other flammable things nearby, the fire, fortunately, did not happen.

“Since we have light problems in Crimea right now, I think many people use power banks.” Please do not be careless about such devices. It is very dangerous, — quotes her words edition.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been established. Lithium-ion batteries can ignite not only when charged, but also due to internal damage or malfunctions.

Experts advise not to use swollen or damaged power banks and not to leave them next to combustible materials.
