Nowadays, many old drivers have such a habit
It is to have a data cable in the car
Let your "love machine" be charged anytime and anywhere
But the consequences of doing so
It may be hard for you to imagine......
this day
Mr. Lu of Jindong District, Jinhua is the same as usual
Park your car downstairs to charge
But wait until the next day when you go to work
But I found my "car"
was burned
Surveillance video
Surveillance video shows that a fire suddenly erupted from the driver's seat of the vehicle, which then grew larger and larger until it filled the front half of the vehicle.
01
7:50 p.m
Mr. Lu parked the car
Start charging on the hook interface
02
19:51
Charging starts when you set 22
03
22:37
A fire broke out inside the car
04
22:43
The fire in the car went out
▲ 22:37 at the beginning - Flames
▲ Medium term - fire burning
▲ 22:43 in the latter part - the fire is extinguished
Thankfully, the doors and windows were closed
The oxygen in the car is exhausted
The fire was extinguished automatically
so as not to cause a fire
Although there were no casualties
But Mr. Lu's car is also going to be repaired in the factory
▲The passenger seat was burned down
▲The gear lever in the car was melted by fire
The editor also felt very strange
This car is so good that it caught fire
After investigation and inquiry, it was learned
The cause of the fire:
A short circuit in the data cable of the mobile phone causes spontaneous combustion
Mr. Lu's car was in a charging state at the time, and the vehicle would not enter a dormant state in this case, and the owner plugged in a data cable in the USB interface, and the data cable interface malfunctioned and heated, which eventually led to a fire.
I only found out when I went to work the next day, and I didn't expect this to happen when I plugged in the car before.
Owners
Do you also have this habit?
Charge your phone in the car
Only unplug the phone, not the cable
A seemingly convenient habit
But it also exposed some problems
Charge without unplugging the USB port on the car for a long time
A fault may occur at the interface that causes the data line
Not only will it be detrimental to your phone's battery
It will damage your "car"
The USB port in most cars is:
Configured for audio data transfer
These interface currents are only 5V/0.5A
However, the input current of most mobile phones is 5V/1A
In this case, not only does the charging time take a long time
The phone will also get hot easily
Reduces the life of the battery
See here
You are not already
I'm ready to run wildly to unplug the data cable from the car
No need to arrive on urgent duty
If your "car" doesn't catch fire
In addition to unplugging the data cable after charging
Also watch out for hot weather
The following "time bombs" cannot be placed in the car
01
lighter
The main component of ordinary lighters is liquid butane, which is flammable and explosive. After the vehicle is exposed to the sun, the temperature inside the vehicle will reach 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, which is very likely to cause an explosion accident.
Solution: Do not place lighters in the car, especially in places where direct sunlight is exposed to the dashboard.
02
perfume
Car perfumes contain volatile gases, most of which also contain alcohol, which can cause deflagration if the volatile outlet is blocked.
Solution: Wash the car frequently to keep the car clean and odorless, and if you need a fragrance, you can spray it regularly.
03
Reading glasses
Reading glasses are convex lenses, which tend to bring light together, and if you focus the light for a long time, the focus temperature is too high, which may burn the plastic trim in the car and even cause the vehicle to spontaneously combust.
Solution: Put the glasses in the case and they won't spotlight.
04
Canned spray
Canned sprays such as hairspray, shaving foam, insecticides, air fresheners, etc., the items in the canned spray are also flammable, and if they are exposed to the sun in the car, their power is also greater.
Solution: Canned aerosols are flammable and explosive, so don't put them in your car.
05
Carbonated drinks
In summer, the temperature in the car is very high, and when the car is left for a long time, the large amount of carbon dioxide contained in carbonated drinks is easy to expand, and in severe cases, it will burst through the bottle and cause an explosion.
Solution: Don't store beverages in the vehicle or choose some fruit juice drinks that don't contain gas in paper packaging.
06
Batteries, power banks
This kind of item has been marked on the manual, can not be used in high temperature places, and it is very easy to explode when the car is exposed to the sun. Especially the power bank, now the market is full of a lot of substandard products, some unscrupulous businesses use fake or refurbished batteries, which is more likely to cause explosions.
Solution: Do not place the power bank in a hot area near the center console in the car that can be directly exposed to the sun.
