With over 1.6 million power banks recalled globally due to lithium-ion battery defects, the need for safer alternatives has never been clearer.

In 2025, power banks have made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Explosions, fires, and massive recalls have left consumers wary of these once-trusted devices. With over 1.6 million power banks recalled globally due to lithium-ion battery defects, the need for safer alternatives has never been clearer. Skyfie is revolutionizing portable power with semi-solid-state battery power banks that eliminate explosion risks and deliver longer-lasting performance. Discover why Skyfie is the safest choice in a market plagued by fire hazards—and see our nail penetration test video proving it.

The Growing Danger of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries, found in most power banks, are convenient but volatile. When defective, they can overheat, leak, or explode, causing devastating consequences. In June 2025, a traveler in Japan reported a chilling incident: their power bank exploded while charging, damaging a hotel room and costing $8,000 in damages. Such incidents aren't isolated. Lithium-ion batteries have sparked fires in homes, burned users, and even caused property damage worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Recent recalls highlight the severity of the issue:
Anker Recalls: Over 1.1 million Anker PowerCore 10000 power banks (model A1263) were recalled in the U.S. after 19 reports of fires and explosions, including two minor burn injuries and $60,700 in property damage. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urged consumers to stop using these devices immediately.
Romoss Recalls: In China, Romoss recalled 491,745 power banks (model PAC20-272) due to overheating risks that could lead to explosions. The recall, announced on June 16, 2025, followed reports of safety concerns, including bans on Romoss products in some Chinese universities.

These incidents expose a harsh reality: traditional lithium-ion batteries are a ticking time bomb in your pocket. Overheating can melt plastic casings, release toxic smoke, or ignite nearby objects, endangering lives and property. As recalls mount, consumers are searching for safer power banks that won't put them at risk.

A Safer Path Forward with Semi-Solid-State Technology

The 2025 recall crisis underscores the urgent need for innovation in portable power. Skyfie is addressing this challenge by introducing power banks powered by semi-solid-state batteries, a technology designed to prevent the failures seen in traditional lithium-ion cells. Unlike conventional batteries that use flammable liquid electrolytes, semi-solid-state batteries offer inherent stability, eliminating the risk of fires or explosions. Skyfie's rigorous testing, showcased in our nail penetration test video, demonstrates this safety: even when pierced, our batteries remain inert, producing no flames or smoke.

Beyond safety, these batteries offer up to 2,000 charge cycles, doubling the lifespan of typical lithium-ion alternatives, and reduce environmental impact through sustainable design. Skyfie's innovation aims to restore consumer confidence, offering a reliable solution for travelers, professionals, and anyone seeking worry-free charging. As the industry grapples with the fallout of recalls, Skyfie's semi-solid-state technology paves the way for a safer, more dependable future in portable power.
