Dunlop Power bank — electric shock & fire risk

Hazard

Due to the lack of battery management system, the cells in the power bank are not protected from temperatures outside their specifications; the product also lacks protection against charging currents outside their specifications. Therefore, under high ambient temperature the lithium-ion cells may catch fire.Furthermore, the conductors’ connections are not secured, therefore if one gets loose it may reduce the clearance /creepage distances. Therefore, accessible parts can become live and the user could receive an electric shock from them. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 60950-1.
