Don’t Let Your Phone Explode! Stop These Dangerous Habits Now!
Using Your Phone While Charging
Do you use your phone while it’s charging? If you do, you need to stop right away. Many people still use their phones while charging, but this is a very dangerous habit.
Recent research shows that when your phone’s battery is very low, the amount of radiation it emits increases significantly. This can harm your health, especially your brain.
Ever notice how you get headaches when your phone is charging or when the battery is almost dead? That’s why. Experts say you shouldn’t use your phone while it’s charging, especially near sensitive areas like your brain or heart.
When you use your phone while it’s charging, you’re making the battery do two things at once: charging and discharging. This can wear out the battery quickly and create unexpected dangers.
Most phone makers have built-in safety measures to prevent accidents, but problems can still happen for several reasons we’ll explain next.
Using Your Phone in the Rain
Using your phone in the rain is a big no-no. Rainwater can damage your phone or get into the circuits, causing a short circuit, fire, or even an explosion. And when there’s thunder and lightning, it’s even more dangerous. Lightning can strike by following the phone’s signal, putting you at serious risk.
It’s not just rain that’s a problem. Using your phone in humid places like the bathroom can also be dangerous. The moisture in the air can cause your phone to malfunction and potentially harm you.
Buying Batteries from Unknown Sources
One of the main causes of phone explosions is using batteries from unknown sources. Genuine batteries are made with strict safety standards to prevent problems like explosions. While rare, explosions can still happen with genuine batteries.
However, with counterfeit or recycled batteries, the risks are much higher. These batteries don’t go through the same quality checks and can be like “time bombs” waiting to go off inside your phone without you knowing.
There have been many accidents caused by exploding batteries. In 2007, a worker in China died when the phone in his pocket exploded. In 2013, a woman named Li nearly lost her eyesight when her iPhone 5 suddenly heated up and exploded, sending debris into her eyes.
In Taiwan, a woman was terrified when her HTC One X exploded. She was unharmed, but her phone was destroyed.
