PC Pitstop: Laptop Battery Fire

Back


We intentionally created conditions in which the Li-ON battery pack would explode inside a generic portable. The results are dramatic. There are numerous conditions where these fires can occur in real life. Faulty battery packs (driving the recalls), faulty protection circuits inside the PC, exposure to excessive heat, and blunt force are some of the major ways that this could happen to you.

"The best strategy is to move away from the laptop immediately."

Uhhh, my hand would have a hole in it if it were on the palm rest. I'll be yelling and running away from it already.
