Nokia Recall Charger
After Cell Phone Battery Explodes, what can I do fo myself?
A New Zealand man was woken in the middle of the night when his cell phone battery exploded and burst into flames, the second exploding battery incident reported this week.
Norman Sievewright said he was asleep in bed about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday when he woke to a loud bang and found his cell phone battery in flames on the carpet. The phone had been charging while he was asleep.
"It was very scary ... especially the fumes and stuff. The back has been blown off the phone," he told New Zealand's TVONE television news channel.
The phone was made by Nokia, which asked Sievewright to turn over the battery and charger so it can investigate. Until it has done so, "it would be inappropriate to speculate," a Nokia spokeswoman said via email.
In August Nokia issued an advisoryabout faulty batteries in some of its phones. It said 46 million Nokia-branded BL-5C batteries were vulnerable to a short circuit that could cause them to overheat while recharging, and offered to replace them for customers who are concerned.
Nokia did not issue a recall and said incidents had occurred with only a tiny fraction of phones -- 100 out of the 46 million. The batteries were manufactured by Japan's Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. and sold in a wide range of Nokia devices.
Nokia said it didn't know yet what type of battery was inside the phone in New Zealand, and attempts to contact Sievewright Thursday were unsuccessful.
Also Wednesday, police in South Korea said a worker may have died because his cell phone battery exploded in his pocket, the Associated Press reported. The man was found dead at his workplace in a quarry with a melted cell phone battery in his shirt pocket, according to the report.
The doctor who examined the man said the pressure caused by the explosion may have "damaged his heart and lungs" and led to his death, according to the AP, which quoted a local news agency. That phone was made by LG Electronics, reports said.
With close to 300 million cell phones sold in the world last quarter, such battery explosions are considered extremely rare.
After Cell Phone Battery Explodes, what can I do fo myself?
We use cell phone everyday. And we also use cell phone battery in cell phone everyday. I don't know what will be if we don't use cell phone or cell phone.
Maybe, we can do as following tips:
How to Use Cell Phones to Keep Safe:
Step1
Keep cell phones charged at all times. This can make the difference between life and death. A car charger can be used to keep cell phones charged while on the road, especially on long trips.
Step 2
Use text messaging to communicate in emergency situations where you are not able to speak on the phone. Text messaging can increase your monthly bill, but if used sparingly, there should be minimal charges each month.
Step 3
Set up the cell phone in a way that a single button can be pushed to dial an emergency number. Each year, new features are added to cell phones, making it easier to use for safety purposes.
Step 4
Activate the voice dialing feature on the cell phone. Voice dialing can be used to dial a number by simply speaking the name that is stored in the cell phone. Using voice dialing is a great way to keep safe while using a cell phone.
Step 5
Send an email via the cell phone. Most cell phones have Internet access. This is an extra feature that can be added to the monthly cell phone plan. An email can be sent to someone on your emergency list if necessary.
Know Cell Phone Battery Technology:
Cell phone batteries use the same technology and follow the same principles used in traditional battery cells but face more challenges due to the constant and widespread use of cellular devices.
Chemical Types
Cell phone batteries are made from nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride or the most advanced lithium-ion.
Quick Charging
A team of MIT scientists have invented a lithium-ion battery capable of being charged in 10 seconds. It does not require any radical changes to manufacturer's current processes, and widespread production is being explored.
Memory Effect
New cell phone batteries will try to eliminate the memory effect, which diminishes battery life and eventually leads to complete discharge. This is caused by overcharging or recharging a battery before the life is fully exhausted.
Long-term Life
Current cell phone battery technology allows it to be recharged 200 to 400 times before being permanently discharged. New technology is being worked on to extend battery life, possibly infinitely, as well as cut down on battery waste.
Green Batteries
Technological advances in cell phone batteries will continue to use even more environmentally friendly materials. Lithium-ion batteries were already a major upgrade from the heavy metals previously used in nickel-based batteries, but it is likely this trend will continue as volume grows.
