What is the EU Product Safety Award?
The award is issued by the European Commission and honors innovative business initiatives that enhance consumer safety beyond legal requirements.
The 2023 edition focused on the safety of young people and invited submissions from SMEs and larger companies, as well as early-career and senior researchers.
Maximum safety while using VARTA Power Banks
The EU Commission honored the “Advanced Safety Technology” that includes 6 comprehensive safety features which are effective even in the event of misuse:
Temperature control
An internal NTC sensor interrupts the charging process at high temperatures.
Overcurrent protection
The Power Banks’ batteries are protected against overcurrent to avoid damage to the cells.
Overcharge protection
The Power Banks’ batteries are protected against overcharging to avoid cell damage or excessive aging.
Input-overvoltage protection
An overvoltage detector protects the Power Banks’ input against overvoltage from external power sources.
Deep discharge protection
The protection against deep-discharging of the batteries avoids cell damage and increases the batteries’ longevity.
Short circuit protection
The Power Bank is short circuit proof due to a resettable safety use.
