Smartphone fires are often caused by a faulty battery or low-quality charger. In this respect reports RT broadcast citing comments from interviewed IT experts.
Therefore, Ruslan Permyakov, deputy director of the NTI Competence Center “Reliable Interaction Technologies” based on TUSUR, recommended replacing the battery in the smartphone if it is visibly broken. Also, according to him, a smartphone with an old battery should not be left unattended while charging or loaded with demanding tasks such as games.
In contrast, Vladimir Ulyanov, head of the Zecurion analytical center, noted that the use of high-quality chargers is an important point.
“If we buy cheap chargers with thin wires, devices that are damaged or have broken wires, they are no longer safe to use. “In this case, there is a possibility of a fire,” he said.
Denis Kuvikov, director of the SafeNet regional engineering center, added that strong heating in the sun can trigger a smartphone fire. According to him, this is especially likely if the device is charged and placed on the windowsill.
