T'other day I posted about my cheap as chips fake-sony batteries on here (£1 each, instead of £45). I also have a cheap replacement charger or two.


10 minutes ago had a fantastic bang and flash from kitchen (we were in living room and 'felt' the bang). Charger, whilst physically intact, is now dead and has left a big burn mark up the wall. Wouldn't have wanted to be within 6 feet when it went up.

Batteries and charger now in bin, about to visit Sony Ericsson site with credit card.



Phone, surprisingly, is in full working order...



We had a crappy charger like that too. Its not strictly speaking the fault of the battery.
