    The notice made by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission that states they have received 40 reports of battery overheating. The recall covers also Inspiron and Dell Latitude units sold about three years ago.

    It was quite a surprise for Sony as they did not sell the batteries directly, they were sold by PC makers, electronic stores and online retail dealers.

    The reason of overheating is flaws in the PC and separate batteries sold outside the United States. And Sony report a number of incidents have occurred because of smoke and flames, some minute damage, flaws in the electrodes metal foils and small burns. There is an opinion that due to some adjustments in Sony’s manufacturing line, taking place in 2004-2005, from which the quality of cells in certain products suffered.
    Sony also say that only a small part of laptop battery packs were recalled which were sold within last six years. And it is almost nothing compared with 10 million Sony batteries sold to several major computer manufacturers in 2006-2007.

    Fake mobile phone batteries insider profits

    (Trackback: laptop battery.)

    I am sure the fake Nokia batteries exploded wounding also heard a great deal of news, and now many of my friends for the Nokia battery also had a fear, after all, is to carry mobile phones, and involved in their own security issues. So what is fake battery; with What’s the difference between original equipment batteries; how to identify these issues of concern to everyone.

    Insider profits fake batteries, low raw material costs

    The cost of counterfeit goods very low battery, each battery costs only 2.5 yuan, the primary wholesale market price is 4 dollars a general in the market retail price of about 50-70 yuan, but also some black businessmen as original battery to sales, is doubling its profits. Why detract from the fact that a mobile phone battery costs only 2.5 yuan, which we may think that sounds unlikely, after all, as we often use a one-time battery not so cheap, not to mention is that these can be recharged many times you use the cell phone battery, but There have been able to have such a low price with good reason. As we all know, used batteries are used in special chemical waste, the general can not be used as to deal with garbage. Relevant state departments will be in order to avoid special handling of environmental pollution.

    In developed countries, the law of chemical waste disposal requirements are particularly stringent. Thus many countries these chemicals will be shipped to foreign countries refuse to deal with, and this is a waste. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people devoted to domestic acquisition of such waste. It is said that these fake battery is from Fuzhou, the raw materials, such as battery recycling point to come back to buy bulk, the cost is extremely low prices are calculated in tons.

    The same low labor costs, mobile phone batteries “production plant”, the production of simple tools, simple table

    These underground factories generally start with these places to buy back used batteries bulk, and then dismantling them simple useful carbon batteries, aluminum shell and other parts and then assembled into the battery, and its production process is quite simple, it requires only a few workers and the CLP iron like a small tool. One can imagine that the cost of these batteries is almost negligible.

    The production process of mobile phone batteries

    These are some black-market mobile phone batteries mobile phone accessories factory workshop or individual points from the volume of waste battery recycling used batteries to buy back, and then the demolition of their own by hand, extraction of available materials such as batteries welded together, and then fitted with the battery outside of the plastic Shell and the relevant labels on it. The entire production process is quite simple, very low production costs, the equipment required for simple devices such as electric iron only, and its size is usually only a few workers can be productive.

    The regular battery manufacturers have to go through the relevant departments of national production of special permit to enter the industry, but also the quality of enterprises, raw material sources, such as recycling of waste products, there are stringent regulations. General small business can not have the ability to enter the energy industry, let alone the individual.

    Phone batteries up to 100 times profits

    We have said in front of its low production cost, is basically the cost of each cell at 2.5 yuan. Ex-factory price of 4 yuan. And to the retail market, the distributor further camouflage and deception, such as the original battery to battery sales. Price up to 2XX yuan, flexor calculation, the profit reached 100 times! Really amazing.

    On the counter in such cells is very often false

    JS in general before, this battery is also a very good camouflage, sell 70-80 million is not a problem. Profits have been up about 30 times.

    Losses caused by counterfeit batteries

    First of all, that is certainly economic losses. To spend 70-80 million to buy a camouflage battery, looks like the cheaper than the original, but in fact the performance of such batteries and thus fail to nominal value. Lack of standby time, fever. Conditions are common and so on. And most of this cell death itself may be the most used batteries, so life will not be long. 3 months to almost useless. Therefore, JS is also very striking to tell you that the battery warranty for 3 months. To the user caused great economic losses.

    The second is the security issue. Because there is no manufacturing done in accordance with the standard, and there is no security measure quality. Mobile phone batteries that can easily produce some security issues. Easily made when the charge of excessive heat, causing fire, such as the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion. Another is likely to charge at any time when violence charge, in order to not be able to use later. Become a real waste batteries. And chemical pollution of the environment into a piece of garbage. Impact on human health.

    Can be said that the fake batteries are detrimental rather than beneficial. We should consciously resist the purchase. But do not that the market for all non-original batteries are unsafe with poor performance. In fact, the market still has a lot of professional battery manufacturer, their products are trustworthy. GPass common, Desai, TCL and so on such products, it is still worth buying public.

    Remember not to buy the so-called compatible battery business, or the so-called A cargo, B goods with original equipment batteries. These are likely to be false. Only buy the regular products manufacturers can be quality assurance, is also more secure to use. If you had the battery charge when the battery broken or bursting battery charge of this situation, the general who is to buy fake or non-brand battery cells, on the contrary there is little original battery in such a situation.
