Battery that killed Chinese welder from a Motorola phone

According to China Tech News, the exploding cell phone battery that killed a Chinese welder on June 19 reported yesterday, was from a Motorola phone.

"The phone model and the battery used for the phone have not been disclosed yet.

A representative from the police department said that the mobile phone Xiao used is a new product from Motorola and it had been used for about six months. It is not known whether the battery is the original Motorola-made or a fake battery and the investigation is underway.

Fake versions of famous products in China often have quality products, resulting in consumer confusion and misplaced bad feelings towards the hijacked company. "
