Lithium batteries, those contained in mobile phones and which generally never leave users satisfied with their autonomy, have a rather significant plus of danger, and is that we must know that these batteries are highly volatile. Companies like Samsung and Apple know this well, and it is that every time one of their devices contains a faulty battery or ends up causing an accident, it automatically becomes the front page of all the media.
However, there are daring people who dare to manipulate this type of battery, which is very dangerous and we do not recommend without minimal knowledge. We bring you an explanatory video that will make it quite clear why you should never to bite a phone battery.
In the video, recorded in China on January 19, 2018, we can observe a user in an electronics store, manipulating the content of a phone (they say it could be an iPhone). For some unknown reason, the user brings the phone close to his jaw and takes a bite out of the battery. When lithium comes into contact with oxygen, it causes a very powerful flash that leaves both the bite and the person in front of it astonished.
We have no knowledge of the extent of the damage from the explosion, but we can get an idea, and it probably seems to have come up short. Lithium is not only volatile, it is also toxic, so putting it in your mouth is not exactly a good idea, as it can cause irreversible poisoning. Be that as it may We take this opportunity to remind our readers that handling batteries without minimal knowledge can have fatal results much worse than those we have seen in this video, so we recommend you go to experts.
