Cheap Phone Battery Explodes, Burns Chinese Man’s Face

Beijing: A Chinese man burnt his face after he tried to replace his phone battery with a new one in a mobile store.

He borrowed a tweezer from a mobile store and tried to remove the old battery. The battery exploded emitting flames after the man accidentally made a hole in it.
