Next Time ask for a non-exploding battery
I've heard stories about people's laptops exploding and cell phones exploding, (2). When I first heard about these stories I just attributed them to terrorist activities or poor manufacturing. What I didn't know is that ALL traditional lithium-Ion batteries will explode given enough pressure.
Looks Like I'll be handling my cell phone, laptop etc.. with a little extra care and respect from now on. I'd also like to tell gadget manufacturers to stop putting exploding batteries in my stuff and to start putting non-exploding batteries in them. Apparently they now exist.
Their promotional video clearly shows their advantage.
