Yeah, didn't read the whole article. But in fairness the title was a bit misleading on that.

But let's just assume that there is such a thing. The battery's capacity has nothing to with it catching fire or exploding. A Tesla Model X carries a massively larger battery pack under it. They're not a fire risk just because of the battery capacity.

But they are impractical for dragging around as a phone charger too. Touch to big and heavy to just throw in your backpack.

      AnonD-604997, 14 Mar 2018Did you even read the article? 260,000 is the number of unit affected, not the capacity.Some people love to comment just for the sake of it

          Amazon basic product sucks, they copy the items that are highly sold and sell them at a cheaper price. When you reduce the price , the quality degrades as well

          Other companies should file a law suit for designing , copying and selling items which are sold on their website
