Recall alert: If you have this Belkin portable power bank, stop using it now
If you own the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Fast Wireless Charger for Apple Watch + Power Bank 10K (BPD005) power bank, you should stop using it immediately. Belkin issued a voluntary recall for the iPhone and Apple Watch power pack, warning users that this accessory could pose a fire hazard.
The external battery pack can recharge any smartphone via USB-C, and it charges the Apple Watch wirelessly. Because it incorporates a wireless charging puck that fits the Apple Watch, it is an accessory that an iPhone owner would obviously be the most likely candidate to buy. The Apple Watch can only be paired with an iPhone, after all.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro was launched in May 2023. It features a built-in 10,000 mAh battery and support for fast-charging iPhones at speeds of up to 20W.
