iPhone battery explodes into man’s face as he bites it to test authenticity


nsnbc : While looking for a new replacement battery for his iPhone at an electronics store in China, last Friday, a man inexplicably decided that he should “bite” into one of the batteries to somehow test its authenticity. Tragically, the battery exploded into the man’s face in a ball of fire.

Puff the magic iPhone battery.

Puff the magic iPhone battery.

Video of the tragic- but bizarre – incident was captured on the store’s CCTV camera. The footage was posted on the Chinese video sharing site miapai.com on January 20. The video with the man  – who probably didn’t enter the shop or bite the battery to become the latest social media star – or fireball – has since been viewed over 4.45 million times.

The video clearly shows the man biting the battery. Sinking his teeth into the lithium ion battery was a bad idea. When he had ruptured the isolating layers the battery quickly cocked off and exploded in his face as shown in the video.

Fortunately, it was reported that no one was seriously injured in the blast, but many in the store were startled by the sudden explosion. In response to the video, a Chinese netizen chided the man by saying, “The battery is not gold, why are you biting it?” Others would say “How dumb must one be to bite a battery?”

After a big uproar over Apple slowing down older models of the iPhone with aging batteries, it has started to offer a discount on replacement batteries around the world, including in China. However, Chinese electronic stores are notoriously replete with fake goods including fake iPhone parts and batteries. Surely, there must be another and better test than to sink one’s teeth into the battery in the hope that it won’t explode – and that being said, do notsink your teeth into original iPhone batteries either. It’s a really, really dumb idea that can have the most serious consequences for the remainder of your life – if you survive your spell of idiocy that is.
