How to prevent smartphone exploding: It could be due to the charging habit!

First of all, to avoid smartphone exploding, don’t charge your phone in low temperatures. Most South East Asian users don’t have such situation. However, for those who live in cold climate or in the mountainous area with sub-zero temperature, it is NOT recommended to charge your phone when it’s too cold! According to Battery University, a famous website studying about batteries, lithium-ion battery should NEVER be charged in sub-freezing surroundings because repeated frigid re-ups can result in permanent “plating of metallic lithium,” which can cause battery failure. In this case, make sure to user heater in the room before you charge your phone!
Secondly, if you want to prevent smartphone exploding, don’t use your phone while charging. Charging already causes a lot of heat to your phone. If combined with the heat created from usage, it could be too much for the phone to handle. And there’s nothing worse than your smartphone exploding in your handsbattery-exploding-e1470038214199
Thirdly, make sure you use the original charger toavoid smartphone exploding! Don’t assume that as long as the charging port of your phone fits the charging cable, you can use that charger for your phone! They may look compatible with each other but in fact, they may not share the same voltage capacity. If you charge your phone with a charger with stronger voltage than it requires, the phone gets overloaded and who knows what can happen!

How to prevent smartphone exploding: Off-brand battery is dangerous!

Last but not least, NEVER use off-brand batteries. I know there are cases when your current battery is dead and your wanna buy a new battery for your phone. In that case, please go to the official retailer and buy the original battery of your phone! Off-brand batteries may be much cheaper but noone knows where they come from!
