Is it okay to charge the backup battery while using the phone?

1. Is it okay to charge while using the phone?

The answer is YES, even though the charger is not plugged in directly from the power source. Using your  phone  while the power bank charges will harm the device and potentially endanger yourself.

1.1. Does the battery bottle come out of the battery while charging the power bank while using the phone?

Yes, while charging, regardless of power bank or not, your phone will generate heat due to the charging process and the operation of the power management chip. When using the phone while charging, the phone's processor will act to generate heat, plus the heat from the charging process will make our device hotter than ever. Plus the process of charging and discharging the battery will reduce the battery life extremely high.

Temperature is the enemy of the battery, and higher temperature leads to heavier battery bottle and battery edema. Reduces battery life significantly.

1.2. Does the backup charger while using the phone explode?

As well as charging directly with a power source, using a power bank while using your phone can lead to explosion. Because the charging process will create a high temperature in the phone, plus the heat generated by the processor of the device while operating will generate a huge heat source, if you are using it in the environment. If you have a high temperature there is a great risk of overheating and explosion in the phone battery. There is chemical composition in cell phone batteries, potentially exploding at high temperatures.

There have been many cases that lead to unfortunate accidents when using the power bank while using the phone.

2. Some notes when using the power bank

2. Make sure  charger, cable  is genuine. Cable charging factor is very important, ensuring safety and ensuring the right time to charge the backup battery.
3. Use the correct output port: Usually 5V - 1A for the phone and 5V - 2A for  the computer , to match the charging capacity of each machine, limit the overheating when charging is too large.

2.3. Store a backup charger

1. Please make sure the power bank is located in a cool place, away from high temperature places such as the trunk of the car, in direct sunlight. In high temperature conditions, it is very harmful to the power bank, reducing its lifespan and causing danger to the user.
