Increases risk of overheating and fire, no? I am reminded of a certain elevator video from China, and charred remains.

He had an electrical bicycle battery. Much more danger. A phone, you might be able to stomp out or contain. I wouldn't trust it to not fry my handheld, though.

They are parallel charging a split battery.

Since their battery is split into 4 blocks, each block is charged using a dc/dc charger that can deliver up to 80W at 1.25v output (64A). Then the 4 battery blocks are connected in series. Each battery contributes 1.25v to create 5v.

What they’ve done is applied high power Point-of-load charging techniques (for cpus for example) to phone battery charging.
