It will surely be lower quality and degrade quicker than brand one but it will not spontaneously combust if you are worried about that.

- Klathmon 9y agoThat's the thing, with lithium ion batteries, spontaneously combustion is a real worry. I'll be more than willing to take my chances with a lot of parts on computers/phones/electronics/etc But the power supply systems are one area I will not buy anything other than OEM or "top of the line" for. I've fallen asleep with my phone in bed, I have it on a nightstand a foot away from my head most nights, it sits in my pocket for most of the day. That's not something I want to have even a 1% chance of failing when the failure mode is "burst into flames".
- concerned_user 9y agoNot really, it is a worry in model planes or vaping devices which draw significant current. Phone it has a temperature sensor and only other risk you have is it being bent or punctured. I always wonder how people use those vaping devices (especially cheap ones from ebay) without fear of them blowing up, energy density is crazy there.
- Klathmon 9y agoThere's only so much the actual phone can do to prevent a problem with a battery though. To put it bluntly, a temperature sensor in the phone isn't going to do shit if one of the battery's internal walls fails due to a manufacturing defect and the thermal runaway starts. Every month or so I hear of another person who's phone caught fire on their bed, or the whole galaxy note fiasco. While I agree with you that for the most part it's not a worry in devices from reputable manufacturers (like OEMs), but it is and will continue to be a problem for cheaper manufacturers, and suppliers who aren't afraid to lie about what's inside the package.
