waltappel 1 #1 May 15, 2006 According to Reuters, "...at least five Motorola cell phones have exploded over the last two months in Brazil. The latest victim -- a 34-year-old woman -- was driving when her phone blew up in her lap, badly burning her thighs and arms. Motorola said that faulty batteries made by other companies probably caused the explosions." Guys, if you normally keep your cell phone next to your balls, you might want to reconsider.

billvon 3,120 #3 May 15, 2006 Yep. I have videos of cellphone batteries going off like bombs when we were doing nail puncture tests (which is worst case for those things.) Took a while to get a protection circuit that could prevent that; 'discount' battery manufacturers sometimes neglect protection circuits entirely.

LouDiamond 1 #6 May 15, 2006 QuoteMotorola said that faulty batteries made by other companies probably caused the explosions." This is a common occurance in most South American countries where batteries and accessories made by other mfgrs(usually China/Taiwan knock offs) are regularly sold not only on the street at stop lights but often at phone stores in the malls as well. Face plates and ear buds are one thing but a no name or after market cell phone battery is a bad idea as this case points out."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlindBrick 0 #8 May 15, 2006 Meh that's nothing. Mossad once used one to blow the head off a palestenian bomb designer that was notorius for his cleverly concealed devices. -blind."If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."
