Hey, don’t leave your phone (or tablet etc) in your hot car.

From Consumer Reports SIX YEARS AGO:
Why Lithium-Ion Batteries Still Explode, and What's Being Done to Fix the Problem
Obviously, not enough.
Imagine a luckless guy.
Buys an EV car and is driving it home when his phone starts to expand and feel red hot. He panics and turns to pull over
when his EV battery starts to burn up.

I am a Luddite and do not own a cell phone. My burner phone in the past started to swell up when the battery expanded. No fire but I tossed it. Now I wonder if it was worse than I assumed. Also “burner” phone for criminals and myself have a double entendre meaning if phones start to ignite.
And it's not just the phones, tablets have the same habit, especially the A series. About 90% of the swollen battery devices were from Samsung.
Yes, I've worked at a third party service up until a few months ago and I can't remember a single S or Note series without this issue. Usually it was due to intense usage or even slight torsion (wearing it in the pocket of your jeans) or if you changed the temperature a lot (taxi drivers were regulars) oddly enough we never had recurring problems with third party battery packs, so definitely a problem there. And it's not just the phones, tablets have the same habit, especially the A series. About 90% of the swollen battery devices were from Samsung.Sorin Stefan Cosma on YouTube
OK, so I read the article and found that it was phones damaged by abuse and improper handling. Too funny!
I replaced the battery in an iPhone 5S last year as it was “blowing” the screen off the case.
No heat, but also no troubles so far.

“What they need to do is go for OLED screens, because screens are the biggest reasons for big batteries.”
Been OLED for years.
I didn’t know that.
My bad.
They still need to fix that.
Oh totally....
An active processor can consume 3x the energy of the screen
Question, what happens to lithium batteries when exposed to EMF, solar or man made?
Nothing good....
Just a random thought..
what happens when a EV battery swells up?
Yeah, so funny that you said it was one phone, when it was MANY.
Fire....
Batrees is batrees...
Particularly if they’s lithium...
And intense use, wearing it in your pocket, or changing temperatures while driving, is not abuse or improper handling. That is expected use, and Samsung is doing a poor job of creating devices that can't handle usage. Samsung builds them in their commie Chinese factories, and they're dangerous phones.
So, more than just my TV not working (which in itself would be OK)
So much for high tech huh.
