With the replacement advisory of Nokia BL-5C battery (Read full story here) , my worst horror of explosion of cell phone battery has coming true. I am 8 hours a day on my cell either talking or responding emails. I use Nokia communicator, which indeed has a million pound heavy battery. Nokia has issued advisory that in some of the cases battery become overheated and explodes during charging. Nokia claims that happens only when cell phone is in charging mode. So far none property / body damage has been reported. However people like us who are heavy cell phone users, most of the time even when we are talking on the cell, our cell is charging. I guess from now on, I will be very careful with excessive use of my cell. True my cell phone battery hasn’t been identified as a faulty battery, but I guess if there would have been any incident of battery overheating in the model that I use, I might have been the first victim.
