- Ann Arbor, MI (1888PressRelease) June 21, 2025 - 2025 has been a rough year for power banks. Explosions and fires triggered recalls of over 1.6 million units worldwide, leaving consumers rattled. Picture this: a power bank explodes in a Japanese hotel room, racking up $8,000 in damage. Or fires in the U.S. causing burns and $60,000 in losses. These aren’t just stories—they’re real, documented by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. With 1.1 million units recalled in the U.S. and nearly 500,000 in China, some schools even banned power banks over safety fears. It’s no wonder people are asking: Are power banks safe anymore?
The problem lies with lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) batteries, the go-to for many high-end power banks. They pack a punch for power but can turn dangerous when they overheat or age. Faulty LCO cells can spark, smoke, or explode, as seen in this year’s recalls. The numbers are staggering: 1.1 million units pulled in the U.S. for fire risks, and 491,745 in China for potential explosions. These incidents aren’t just technical hiccups—they’re a wake-up call. If power banks keep failing, will consumers abandon them for good?
The industry’s at a crossroads. Power banks are lifesavers for our phones and laptops, but who wants a device that might catch fire? Without a safety overhaul, the market could stall as trust erodes. Consumers are looking for solutions that don’t compromise safety for convenience, and the industry needs to deliver or risk fading into obscurity.
Skyfie Technology is rising to the occasion. We’ve launched power banks with semi-solid-state batteries, a new approach to tackle the safety issues plaguing lithium-ion tech. These batteries use a stable, hybrid design that avoids the volatility of LCO cells. Want proof? Our nail penetration test video shows a Skyfie power bank taking a nail through it—no sparks, no flames. It’s a step toward safer charging that could help the industry rebound.
Power banks can still have a bright future, but only if safety comes first. Skyfie’s semi-solid-state technology is our contribution to solving this puzzle, offering consumers a way to charge with confidence.
