Two independent catastrophe
the Korean giant had to solve two puzzles. The first was on smartphones that have hit the market, the second-those which Samsung fixed under the global exchange program. How is it possible that after replacing the battery with a new one, this one is also burned? Or the problem was the phone design, electronics, software?
a primary Cause of problems was in line with the guesswork of the media, is the wrong project batteries made by Samsung. They were too big. In this regard, was subjected to mechanical damage, especially on corners. The electrodes were arched and reached overheating.

was Not, however, a disease common – for a few million devices sold was recorded a few dozen incidents. The problem was that it was impossible to predict which devices are lit and which are not. Samsung then took a hard decision: began the process of replacing the battery for a new one.
And then there was the next disaster. When replacing the batteries started Samsung did not yet know that causes problems in the components produced in their own factories. So he decided, probably for security, to order the battery in the company of Amperex. Unfortunately, and they were spontaneously combusting.

Here there was another reason. Through tremendous perseverance and haste Amperex did not overcome the quality control process. This is for Samsung devices got faulty components that have problems with the insulation, internal. The result was a mechanical failure of the battery and a short circuit, which led to ignition.
Samsung increases demands
Korean tech giant has assured that will do everything possible to more such situation has not taken place. The batteries will undergo eight tests. They checked for strength, you pass the test of charge and discharge will be over-exposed and passes visual inspection.

Effort can make Samsung and other manufacturers will approach the matter of safety of batteries more thoroughly. As we have already mentioned, in the case of mechanical damage, overheating or short circuits that each battery can ignite or explode.
