During a teardown of the iPad Air and Microsoft Surface Pro 3 at Medical Design & Manufacturing Midwest in Schaumburg, Ill., an engineer showed this "inflammatory" video about the dangers of maliciously mishandling lithium-ion batteries.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
Design News hasn't been able to verify the scientific truthfulness of the video. Used in this format, is the battery chemistry really this volatile? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
(This video originally appeared on YouTube and was sent to Design News by Eric Doster, market development manager, Dozuki, a division of iFixit, who used it during his presentation on the Center Stage, during MD&M Midwest.)
