Gray,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=187345114-22032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>About 75 cell phones
vent with flame, every year in the U.S.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=187345114-22032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The two most common
root causes are: mechanical damage to the cell as the phone is dropped, and poor
quality after-market batteries.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=187345114-22032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember that all
cell phones use a 1S pack, so balancing issues in charge are non-existant,
although charger failures can still over-volt a cell.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=187345114-22032006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Imagine having one
of these to your ear, at the time! That was true in some cases, last year.
Ouch...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
