Mobile Phones Could Explode Under Extreme Hot Weather
Filed under NEWS
Some lessons are best learning by experience!
An incident of a mobile phone explosion inside a vehicle cabin was reported in Saudi Arabia lately. ” Incident Background ” Mobile phone units were left inside the car compartment while the vehicle was parked in an open area. One of the phones had its power “on”. It was close to midday. Reportedly after an hour in the park, one of the mobile phones exploded.
What Went Wrong?
Obviously the mobile phone’s battery is the only component as the legitimate source of stored energy. The solar heat obviously pressurized the car’s closed cabin. What triggers the explosion could be the overheated battery caused by extremely high temperature magnified by the windshield (glass) and the sealed (unventilated) vehicle cabin.
I hope we all learn from this lesson and DON’T leave our mobile phones during summer time inside our cars.

Mobile phones can’t cause this much damage – this appears more like a dynamite explosion. There are the remains of a mobile phone on the vehicle floor; the phone and battery are both intact but seperated from each other.
More investigation required methinks!
