The video below was taken about a week ago in the office of a certain American plastic company. Company employee Steve Puffett, as usual, left his evening workplace by turning off the laptop and other equipment. However, then, what happened a few hours later will make many of us. Disabled (presumably) laptop on a man’s desk exploded unexpectedly, sprinkling sparks in a room, then caught fire. As a result, the whole office burned down. Fortunately no one not injured: the only watchman quickly left the building and called to the fire department.
Someone will suggest that there is real mysticism involved: spontaneous spontaneous combustion of objects and even people is still known since ancient times. However, experts argue that so an unpleasant incident has a completely prosaic explanation. According to experts, the explosion led to a malfunction of the brand laptop battery “HP”. Puffett, learning about this, became terrified and indignant. Giving interview with reporters, office clerk said he used constantly, and an explosion could happen at any time, crippling or even killing a man. Good thing it happened at night when nobody was around.

The insidiousness of laptop batteries and other mobile technicians
Lithium-ion batteries are state-of-the-art miraculously feeding many devices: from electronic cigarettes to cars. However, they tend to catch fire and explode. So, in 2016, the famous South Korean corporation “Samsung” was forced to withdraw from the sale of its popular flagship smartphone “Galaxy Note 7” just because of its explosiveness batteries. Despite the risks of injury and death, some users refused to return their phones to the manufacturer. Precisely because this quality lithium-ion battery airline strictly control the transport of devices with them on airplanes.
Lithium batteries not only ignite and explode, but also Incredibly poorly quenched. With a chain reaction, which leads to a huge increase in battery temperature and called thermal acceleration, all stored battery of electricity, and also start complex chemical processes. A flashing battery may burn without oxygen access and sometimes refuses to respond accordingly into the water. For example, if large water is quenched a battery, for example from an electric car, it is able to react with water, leading to the formation of combustible hydrogen, which only supports burning.
