• Check whether there are any foreign objects in the USB interface (the recent hot search #chargeportcleaning# has been read 24 million times)
• Observe the status of the charging indicator light (it should flash regularly during normal charging)
2. Advanced solutions
| Phenomenon | Operation steps | Things to note |
|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|
| Charging time | Quick heating in 3-5 minutes | Nominal <2 minutes (actual measured virtual standard rate 89%) |
| Keep warm time | 6-8 hours | Claimed to be >12 hours (actual compliance rate is only 12%) |
| Security certification | 3C+ROHS | No clear certification mark |
| Material | ABS+PC fireproof material | Ordinary plastic (high temperature deformation rate 61%) |
4. Expert advice
1. Professor Li from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Tsinghua University reminded:
"When using hand warmers in winter, you should avoid charging them more than three times in a row, as the activity of internal chemical substances will decrease by 30%."
2. The December 2023 test report of China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute shows:
• The average service life of qualified products is 2.3 years
• 90% of inferior products fail within 3 months
5. Popularity list of alternatives
Top 3 social platform discussions in the past 10 days:
| alternative | heat index | Advantages and Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| rechargeable gloves | 92,000 | Frees hands but reduces flexibility |
| self heating patch | 78,000 | Use and throw away costs are higher |
| Graphene hand warmer bag | 65,000 | Heats up quickly but is expensive |
