A vape pen battery caused a fire in an overhead bin on a SkyWest Airlines flight in New York City on Wednesday. Fortunately the plane was still on the ground and no one was injured. It's the latest in a string of incidents where faulty lithium-ion batter
Li-Ion battery Lithium ion (or Li-Ion) batteries are one of the most common types of batteries used in today’s consumer electronic products ranging from mobile phones to laptop computers. The origins of lithium batteries date back to the beginning of the 20thCentury, but turning the technolog...
A: E-cigarettes use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that vaporizes the liquid nicotine solution. Because e-cigarettes are so popular, they are not highly regulated and the batteries may be of inferior quality and prone to explosion. The e-cigarette is like a pen with an opening on both ...
All this became possible due to massive capability leaps in lithium-ion batteries that MacBooks use. In just a few short years, laptops went from 2–3 hours of battery life to more than 15. But as the recent scandal — when a MacBook Pro exploded — has shown, batteries do pack some...
Though legitimate batteries can go wrong, there is a greater chance that poorly made, counterfeit ones will lack safety devices to detect overheating or overcharging. The lithium-ion batteries found in most cell phones can overheat if, for example, heat vents are covered. ...
