After Nokia recalled its faulty BL-5C battery. there has been reported about a battery explosion in West Bengal. Kishori Saha, 25 year old Kolkata resident had plugged in her Nokia 2100 handset for charging on Aug 29. The mobile blew in about 15 minutes. Yes, her mobile’s battery belonged to the same series which has been recalled by Nokia. Five months pregnant Kishori was not hurt but was in such a state of shock that she had to be taken to the hospital. However she was discharged without being administered medicine. When the charging schedule is not adhered to and overcharging happens, a protection mechanism is expected to work and safeguard the battery. But if the protection mechanism fails, an explosion can occur. Last month Nokia had recalled BL-5C batteries that were manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006. Labels: Nokia Earlier Stories:
