You have probably read one or more various facts about faulty batteries in some smartphones. a girl from the south of France which saw his room on fire by the explosion of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
This phenomenon even if, admittedly, does not affect a large number of users, still remains dangerous. To see more clearly, we'll explain why some batteries explode and how to prevent this risk.
Why batteries-they explode?
To understand how to prevent the risk of battery explosion, it is first necessary to know the reasons of such a reaction. If the cases are rare, it is because many factors must be present to cause explosion, all is not only due to the battery itself.
First, in the majority of reported cases, there are two reasons for such an event: either the charger used is not the original one or the battery itself is not the original.
Another important point, lithium batteries present in our devices suffer from what is called "thermal runaway". Simply put, the battery overheating exponentially until the explosion. But to counter this, manufacturers have set up a system to prevent overloading. The battery, once it is fully charged so stop is supposed to combine the energy to heat.
The problem is that the batteries are becoming finer and that between the positive plate and the negative plate of the battery is becoming finer as well. There is less space for the chemical components run between these two plates and it does not take much to create an unexpected reaction. Overloading can therefore cause this type of reaction.
Normally the major manufacturers are careful to insert a kind of fuse to prevent overheating. It cuts the loading of the device and avoids any danger. But sometimes, to save money, they do not hesitate not to insert the fuse in the batteries, causing the kind of explosion that we discover in the various facts.
How to prevent explosions?
The majority of users recharge their smartphone all night while they are sleeping peacefully, to be sure to have a product whose autonomy will be sufficient for a full day. Here are some recommendations to avoid seeing its battery explode:
Do not use a battery that is not the manufacturer or a product approved by the brand in question. It is certainly a little more expensive than products made by third-party brands, certainly compatible but that lack of safety standards. A cheaper battery is also the risk of a battery overheating, and we know where it leads. It is worth spending a few dollars more and keep his smartphone, and incidentally his apartment or house, intact. No?
When your phone is being charged, be sure to place it in a ventilated area. For those who are lucky enough to live where the temperatures are fairly high, place it near a stream of air or a fan. Avoid: near a mattress for example, overheating is possible. And regarding those who are accustomed to slip it under their pillow, do not talk. It's totally outlawed!
Do not wait until your battery is at the lowest to charge your smartphone. Below 50% lithium batteries suffer. While above 50%, this type of battery recharges quickly and without overheating.
Now you are almost experts in battery explosion. By following these tips well you should not find yourself in a difficult situation. Otherwise it is that you really have no luck at this level and nothing more we can do for you.
