What Mophie Juice Pack Battery Case iPhone is made of, ingredients and materials
The Mophie Juice Pack houses a lithium-ion battery cell, the industry standard for portable power, enclosed in injection-molded plastic (likely polycarbonate or ABS) with metal contact pins. Lithium-ion chemistry itself is well-understood and non-toxic when sealed; the hazard profile depends on containment integrity and thermal management. The plastic housing isolates the battery from skin contact, and metal contacts are typically nickel-plated or gold-plated for conductivity and corrosion resistance.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway risk
Physical damage, manufacturing defects, or chronic overcharging can cause internal short circuits and overheating. Mophie cases include charge controllers but no third-party audit results are publicly available. Risk is low under normal conditions but present if case is crushed or exposed to sustained high ambient temperature.
Electromagnetic field exposure
Active charging circuits and battery operation produce electromagnetic fields. Exposure levels in battery cases are typically well below FCC limits and pose no documented health risk, but independent measurement data is unavailable for this specific model.
Counterfeit or degraded battery cell defects
Third-party or grey-market Mophie cases may contain substandard battery cells. Authentic products from authorized retailers carry lower risk; purchase through Amazon, Best Buy, or Mophie direct to minimize counterfeit exposure.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Cadmium
Metal contacts are plated for conductivity. Mophie does not disclose plating material composition. Nickel is typical and low-risk in contact form; cadmium use is now rare in consumer electronics under RoHS rules, but no independent verification for this specific product exists.
Source, ATSDR ↗Formaldehyde / VOCs
Injection-molded polycarbonate or ABS can release minor volatile compounds, especially when new or if exposed to heat. Mophie provides no off-gassing test data. Risk is negligible because the case is not heated in normal use and is not enclosed in a sealed space.

The brand's record and disclosure
Mophie (owned by Zagg Inc., part of GN Store Nord) does not publish detailed material safety disclosures or independent chemical certifications for this product line. No recalls or contamination incidents are on record for Mophie Juice Pack cases. The brand maintains standard consumer electronics compliance (FCC, CE) but provides no transparency on heavy metal use in plating or flame retardants in plastics.
How it compares in its category
Battery cases occupy a low-hazard segment compared to cookware or cosmetics because they do not contact food or skin directly and contain sealed chemistries. Mophie's design is typical, hard plastic shell with internal battery isolation. Competitors like Anker or Belkin follow nearly identical construction; none disclose proprietary material lists, so differentiation on safety grounds is minimal.
If you buy it
Keep the case away from heat sources above 45°C (113°F) and do not puncture, bend, or immerse the unit. Inspect the metal contacts monthly for corrosion or discoloration; clean with a dry cloth if needed. Replace the case if the plastic housing cracks, the battery no longer holds charge, or the device becomes warm during normal use. Charge only with the included or certified USB cable to avoid voltage surges.
