Sin pretender alarmar a nadie, ya que en este momento no hay ningún motivo que relacione la calidad de los productos de la marca PowKiddy, con este desafortunado evento que le ocurrió a un usuario, sí que hay que tener en cuenta que este tipo de baterías que incorporan multitud de dispositivos electrónicos, pueden tener explosiones en caso de errores de fabricación o de sobrecalentamiento.
En este caso, el usuario de Reddit u/larj_Brest compartió en un post lo sucedido:
I was 30 minutes into a session playing final fantasy iv advance when all of a sudden the console turned off and started swelling in my hands, getting really hot. I could hear the plastic straining and popping. Flames and smoke started pouring out of it. I got the fright of my life and dropped it between my couch squabs by accident. I grabbed a tea towel that was nearby and used it to grab the console to take it outside, it burned through the tea towel, and burned the sides of my couch squabs. It absolutely filled my lounge with smelly white smoke.–

La respuesta de PowKiddy en un grupo de Facebook ha sido:
The explosion of the powkiddy battery is a conspiracy. The battery in the picture is intact, but the casing is burned. If the polymer battery is caused by external force, it will smoke and catch fire, but the battery cannot be in good condition. The picture in that post is obviously fake. I haven’t been on the Internet for a long time, I feel incredible.

Desde RetroArkadia celebramos que al usuario no le haya pasado nada grave, pero si pedimos (y deberia ser un minimo) mas calidad en los productos que adquirimos, ya sean de fabricación china, taiwanesa o de donde sea.
