So the video in this story has a customer claiming a battery charger with NO batteries and NOT plugged in began melting in a box.
How is this possible? Where did that tremendous amount of energy come from? Not even capacitors could maintain that much energy for that long to create that much sustained heat.
This is a physical impossibility. Why is NO ONE questioning this???
Here is the link to their review:
"we've owned this item for 2 years and last night my husband noticed an odd plastic burning smell. wakes me up to help find it at 1am. nothing was smoking but something sure smelled like it. with no luck we unplugged everything in living room, got the dogs outside, cats in crates, wrapped 4 month old up, called 911 and waited for them you check. they searched everywhere and concluded our air purifier was the issue so we tossed it out and they left. 30 minutes later my husband smells it again... he's searching everywhere. turns out this charging box laying UNPLUGGED with ZERO BATTERIES in it on our coffee table was melting away. So glad we found it before it got worse. Obviously, dont recommend purchasing it."
