In today’s world, everyone needs to have dozens, if not hundreds of different online accounts to keep up with their everyday life. That’s a lot of potentially sensitive data in the hands of tons of different companies – and it’s easy to not think about that.

Drop it, leave it in heat, or overcharge it, puncture it – and it can swell, and even ignite causing fire.

How do powebank makers address this problem?

This reduces the risk of fire and catastrophic failure. It’s so effective that it can even withstand damage from a hammer and a nail. Watch the full video for an in-depth demonstration.
