Owners of smartphones occasionally experience issues with the batteries in their devices. They began to wonder about the circumstances behind this incident after learning that some cases involve batteries bursting.

Why smartphone batteries catch fire?

In order to clarify how these problems happen in smartphone batteries, specifically in Lithium-ion dry cells, iFixit prepared an explainer. Without an insulating layer, batteries could not function properly. In the event of the unthinkable occurring, the insulator will serve as protection for the positive and negative layers. Damaged batteries are frequently the result of a short circuit. In the worst-case scenario, a fire could start when there is air present in a certain area. Smartphone on fire According to iFixit, the batteries vary depending on the charging level, as reported by Android Headlines. The case study demonstrates that there are two battery states: 25% charged and completely charged. The latter eventually ruptured when a metal tool cut through it, leaving a 100% battery. In light of this, the explainer wants us to understand that the batteries' explosions may be related to the charge of the batteries The fully charged battery slowly erupted in the video. In certain instances, an object that came into touch with it and entered it caused the portion to burst. It is advised that you fully empty your battery before handing your smartphone off to a repair facility. It's the best thing you can do, according to iFixit, to prevent such situations Smartphone on fire Smartphone batteries and laptop batteries are not the same. Your phone's battery should be down to 25% for this to work best. You don't have to use the same technique, though, if you have a laptop and need to drain its battery.  To prevent overheating hazards, all you need to do is make sure to properly drain it. Using the battery should be stopped if you notice an unpleasant smell coming from your gadget. Remove it from your smartphone and stop charging it right away. Just a gentle reminder, if you're wondering about what's inside the lithium-ion batteries, don't poke them. If discharging is not an option, you must dispose of them correctly.
