How to prevent the smartphone from exploding?
There are many reasons a smartphone may catch fire or explode, and it almost always has to do with the device's battery.
1) Modern mobile devices are powered by lithium batteries , which contain a careful balance of positive and negative electrodes to allow for recharging.
2) when, the inner components of the battery can break down a create a volatile reaction that can lead to fires.
THIS CAN HAPPEN FOR MULTIPLE REASON'S LIKE :-.
1) EXCESSIVE HEAT- If a battery becomes too hot quickly , it can ruin the chemical makeup of the phone's components. With batteries , a chain reaction called thermal runaway can cause the battery to generate heat and it catch fire or explode.
2) PHYSICAL DAMAGE - falling of mobile or bending of mobile.
3) Leaving the phone out in the sun for too long.
HOW TO PREVENT IT?
1) AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURE - You probably know that. Phone's battery is optimized to work within a temperature range . Between 39 - 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Regularly exposing the battery to harsh conditions can damage the components within and cause long - term damage.
2) you should avoid leaving your device in direct sunlight or, top of a hot radiator especially when charging.
3) Don't charge the device in bed. Your best option is to place your phone on a flat, hard surface—like a table or desk—when it's time to charge the device. Snuggling up to it at night runs the risk of you rolling on top of it, wrapping it in blankets, or covering it with a pillow. To be safe, keep the device free from plush surfaces, papers, or general clutter.
4) There are a lot of battery myths out there. We shot down many of them, like the idea that charging your phone overnight will cause it to explode (it won't). For our purposes, remember that batteries naturally deteriorate over time, and the best you can do is delay that erosion. We recommend keeping your phone charged between 30-80% most of the time (there's no reason to always insist the battery be at 100%) and refrain from fast charging overnight, if you can help it. However, don't get too worried about this; it will take a few years for your battery to naturally deteriorate. If you switch out phones every year or so, you'll be fine.
5) Use the Right Charger-Your device needs optimal voltage and current to charge properly, so we recommend sticking with the charger that came in the box or grabbing one directly from the phone's manufacturer. That means if you have a Samsung phone, buy a cable from Samsung; if you have an iPhone, get a Lightning cable from the Apple Store. Take Care of Your Cables-Once you have a charger, you need to take care of your cables; damaged wires can lead to charging issues and even cause their own fire hazard.
These are a few best practices you should keep in mind when managing your phone charger, or really any wire that connects to your devices. Avoid wrapping wires too tightly and remember to unplug the charger from the actual plug instead of yanking it out from the cord. If your current charger is fraying or seems to have melted, it's time to get a new cable.
