Replacement phone I got exploded in my face the other day. Luckily my work got it on video. from Wellthatsucks
In the video clip above you can see the danger we are exposed to when we use third-party batteries in our phones from manufacturers we do not know, and whose quality we know nothing about. The video clip was filmed in a mobile phone service in the US, where an employee was trying to replace the battery of an iPhone 5S, but it exploded in front of him, and could cause very serious injuries, but this time it was not like that.
The battery of that iPhone 5S phone was a third-party one, so not from the Apple company, but from some unknown manufacturer in China, and it is not known why it exploded when the mobile phone case was opened. It is possible that the employee punctured it when the iPhone 5S phone was opened, or it is possible that the explosion is related to a defective component, or very poor quality for the protective materials used.
The EXPLOSION of the third battery in an iPhone shows the DANGER you are exposed to
The phone was owned by the person who tried to change its battery, the process starting after it swelled, and he wanted to see what exactly was happening, although it was obvious that the battery was to blame. It is not known from here what happened, if it was punctured, or it simply exploded when pressure was put more than it should have been in a certain area, but that's how you see how dangerous third-party batteries are.
“The battery was replaced by a colleague who originally owned the phone and believes it is a faulty piece of equipment. The battery would swell when we charged it and he would open the phone to see what was going on."
Another problem is that burning batteries should not be extinguished by stepping on them, because the heat released by the materials inside exceeds 500 degrees Celsius, so it can make a hole in your leg. Of course, it's just as easy to get a hole in the head, or in the hand, if you have the phone to your ear when the explosion happens and the fire goes through the case, so avoid third-party batteries.
For years, Apple has been recommending to customers not to use third-party batteries in their iPhones, and videos like this show us how dangerous everything is.
