After reading some threads about people considering to use non-genuine batteries in their phones. I felt I needed to share my knowledge of non-genuine batteries(Everyone from norway should be well aware of this).
Using non-genuine batteries is not recommended.
A couple of months ago here in norway a persons phone(nokia 3310) exploded using a non-genuine battery from Clas Ohlson.
Luckily the person managed to throw it on the floor before it blew up where it left a rather large scorch mark. According to the person the phone started shaking and expanding right before it happened.
I certainly won't use a non-genuine battery in my phone. If a phone blows up in your hands or worse yet.. in your pants!!! Very close to you know what 
One could get injured. Or even worse. My t68i could get ruined!!! |

I think the prob with unbranded batteries is not that dangerous but economic related:they r cheaper,bigger,heavier and their life span ranges from 2(TWO) to a maximum one year!most of them r fake or incredibly bad manufacture.so i advise against it cuz of the $! buy a new original one or better

tranquil, thanks for the translation! I've never heard about this before. But someone posted that it also happened with an original battery. How true is that?

I think all batteries and electrical gadgets have a possibility of going wrong in the sence of exploding. TVs, stereos, even cars. a slight defect in the production can have these effects.
The clue, I think, is that the real Mc Coy is not made the "cheap" way and thereby decreases chances for things like this to happen dramaticly.
