Why it's dangerous
BurnsFire
The wires of the product are soldered directly to the circuit board without proper support, so vibrations or shocks could loosen the battery’s thermal protection, causing overheating and a fire. Also, the plug does not meet the required dimensions and may not fit securely in a socket, which could also lead to overheating and fire.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
