What happen for Samsung Note 7

What happen for Samsung Note 7?

From the current point of view it belongs to manufacturing problems. Samsung Electronics announced before due to "very rare manufacturing process error", resulting in at least 35 Note 7 cell phone lithium battery overheating cases occur worldwide, Samsung's alleged error process will make contact with the anode and cathode occur.

Note 7 on sale just two weeks, but Samsung Electronics has decided to recall the product, and give a free replacement for the consumers who bought Note 7.

Whether Lithium battery overheating often emerge?

University of Michigan Professor Stephen Hackney gives a good news, he said, the lithium battery overheating is not common, and LiFePo4 battery pack is rare. Especially in the high-end electronic equipment, as long as the manufacturers in terms of pay attention to quality control, this problem will not process error.

But historically, there have been many times the lithium battery product recalls. For example, Dell recalled over 400 million units exist battery overheating laptop in 2006. In 2013, Boeing Company manufactured by Boeing 787 was forced to suspend the flight, because the reports show the presence of lithium prone to overheating problems on the aircraft.

In addition this summer, US manufacturers have recalled more than 500,000 hoverboard (the most popular Christmas gifts last year), largely because of lithium battery overheating and explosion problem.

Whether regulators will investigate the battery to overheat?

At present, governments and international organizations have regulatory agencies in many ways, for the safety and quality lithium products requested. This is the lithium battery overheating or explosion is not common for a reason.

For example, the US Department of Transportation in the safe transport of lithium batteries, has strict rules.

Numerous regulatory agencies also requires to appear in consumer electronics products of lithium batteries must pass stringent safety tests. So now the solar power portable generator is relatively safe. US Consumer Product Safety Commission in the past organized several battery recall, the agency is also currently cooperate with Samsung Electronics, is recalling the Note 7 in the United States.
