Samsung Group- the South Korean group of
companies, one of the largest chaebol, was
founded in 1938. On the world market is
known as a manufacturer of high-tech
components, including full-cycle production
of integrated circuits, telecommunications

the authorities in the global electronics market,
apparently somewhat hastened with the release of
the new flagship Galaxy Note 7. The rush left side
and the manufacturer and those users who rushed
to get a prestigious new.
The problem is the batteries that can explode.
Given that the battery capacity of this device is
solid, its explosion in the hands of the user or in
the pocket of clothing can cause serious harm to
health. In total, there were 35 cases when the
batteries of smartphones of this model exploded
or caught fire, although, probably, such cases are
much more.

Causes

situation
The main reason for such problems
lies in the production marriage,
when the insulation layer between
the cells is thinner than necessary
and simply can not withstand the
temperature pressure. In addition,
these batteries are dangerous for
any physical impact, such as falls
and bumps.
Consequences
Samsung shares after the
news fell by 2% and reduced
market capitalization by $ 7

Solution
1)The purchase of these batteries
from Samsung SDI has been
temporarily stopped.
2)Although Samsung estimated the
probability of the defect to be
rather low (24 cases per million), it
decided to fully exchange all the
gadgets sold to date.

7. Conclusion

As you can see, batteries are the most sensitive
component of modern mobile devices, which requires
special attention. Once again, a few rules: do not allow
mechanical damage to the batteries, their overheating
and hypothermia, charge gadgets only proven power
supplies and cables, do not discharge the battery until
the device is turned off and at least once a month to
calibrate the battery. When performing these simple
tips you will hardly face the threat of explosion of the
battery of your smartphone, and it will last you as long
as possible.
