I´ve been watching news today morning and I heard contribution about Nokia Batteries which can explode while charging. I have Nokia mobile phone myself and that´s why I was interested.
Nokia informs that Nokia-branded BL-5C battery made between December 2005 and November 2006 can be dangerous because they could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge. They should be replaced as soon as possible if you have one. They were used in following types of mobile phones:
Nokia 1100, Nokia 1100c, Nokia 1101, Nokia 1108, Nokia 1110, Nokia 1112, Nokia 1255, Nokia 1315, Nokia 1600, Nokia 2112, Nokia 2118, Nokia 2255, Nokia 2272, Nokia 2275, Nokia 2300, Nokia 2300c, Nokia 2310, Nokia 2355, Nokia 2600, Nokia 2610, Nokia 2610b, Nokia 2626, Nokia 3100, Nokia 3105, Nokia 3120, Nokia 3125, Nokia 6030, Nokia 6085, Nokia 6086, Nokia 6108, Nokia 6175i, Nokia 6178i, Nokia 6230, Nokia 6230i, Nokia 6270, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6620, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6631, Nokia 6670, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6682, Nokia 6820, Nokia 6822, Nokia 7610, Nokia N70, Nokia N71, Nokia N72, Nokia N91, Nokia E50, Nokia E60, Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-1W, Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W.If you have one, swich you mobile phone off and open the back of it. There you´ll find out what kind of battery you have. Even if you have BL-5C do not panic. Go to Nokia - web site and insert 26 character Battery identification number into small window and submit. If you have dangerous battery, replace it as soon as possible.
