A similar case was in Kurgan, where a seven-year-old boy died in July due to a mobile phone explosion. The gadget exploded in the hands of a child when he put it on charge.
After the tragedy, Roskachestvo experts told how to avoid exploding the battery of a smartphone or laptop.
In particular, they advise not to allow the device to overheat, to use branded chargers or units certified by this company, and during charging, try not to start energy-consuming games and “heavy” processes for the gadget.
