Recent phone fire leads Oklahoma City Fire Department to warn the public

In a post on social media, an OCFD spokesperson says a man’s phone caught fire when they were charging it using a power bank. The phone began to hiss and smell like something was burning, and the man threw the phone to the floor and covered it with a fire blanket. He suffered a minor burn to his wrist in the process. officials said.

“A lot of times, these lithium-ion battery fires, they’ll emit some toxic fumes which is really dangerous.” Scott Douglas, OCFD’s Public Information Officer said. “So with him getting that fire blanket and re-entering that atmosphere, it’s pretty dangerous. We really want to see the occupant just get out and stay out and call 911 and let us take the job from there.”
In light of the fire, authorities with OCFD are reminding the public of steps they need to take when charging devices using a lithium-ion power supply.

Always monitor devices while charging – especially power banks and phones.
Pay attention to any hissing or steam-like sounds.
If a battery starts to burn or smoke, immediately leave the area and call 911
Do not use regular fire extinguishers on lithium battery fires.

========================================

How does EMF cause lithium batteries to experience thermal runaway and thus spontaneously combust? One of two main ways:

#1 - Overcharge/Discharge

With various impressed external magnetic field intensities an effect was noticed on the charge and discharge curves as well as the charge and mass concentrations within the batteries. With the two-dimensional model starting from 0mT and going to 1mT had the effect of discharging the battery faster and charging the battery faster. With the two-dimensional model starting from 1mT and going to -1mT had the effect of charging the battery faster. In either case an effect on the various characteristics of the battery were studied. With the experiments conducted on the two types of batteries the effect was more profound than subtle. Discharge times were twice as fast and charge times were equally
affected. With the smaller batteries they all generally charged faster under the presence of a magnetic field due to more uniform penetration. In the presence of the field they also discharged faster. The larger batteries would not see the same uniform penetration because only a small area of the battery sees the center of the coil it is placed on

In this dissertation, they found that external magnetic fields significantly increased charge and discharge rates in individual lithium battery cells; like shown in the following image. They also found that smaller batteries were impacted to a greater degree than larger ones. This is likely a reason Tesla is switching to larger battery cells in addition to employing magnetic attenuating honeycomb sandwich battery pack.

Apple (AAPL) Stock Eyes Big Gains After Beat-and-Raise
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | January 31, 2025

• AAPL could today mark its first weekly win in five

• No fewer than 14 analysts have raised their price targets

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported a top- and bottom-line beat for its fiscal first quarter after yesterday's close. The tech giant also shared a strong sales growth outlook, pointing to recovering iPhone sales amid the rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) features. No fewer than 14 analysts lifted their price targets, including Goldman Sachs to $294 from $280.

Coming into today, 15 of the 36 analysts covering Apple stock still rate it a tepid "hold" or worse. This means there's still plenty of room for upgrades amongst the brokerage bunch.

AAPL is up 4.2% to trade at $247.60 in premarket trading. Should gains hold, the equity will mark its fourth win in the last five days, and notch their best day since June. The shares are also on track for their first weekly gain in five as they extend a bounce off $220 and boast a 28.8% year-over-year lead.

While calls still outpace puts in the options pits, options traders have been more bearish than usual of late. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the equity's 50-day call/put volume ratio sits higher than 80% of annual readings. An unwinding of this pessimism could boost AAPL.

It's worth noting the security has a history of exceeding volatility expectations, as evidenced by its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) rating of 77 out of 100. In simpler terms, now may be a good time to weigh in on Apple stock's next more with options.

By: TrendSpider | January 26, 2025

• Apple is testing its 200-Day EMA for the first time in 10 months, struggling to find its footing in 2025.

Vistra Fire and Teslas Burning in California: Is it a Wake-Up Call for Battery Storage Safety?

Lithium-Ion Batteries: How Risky are They?

Lithium-ion batteries are known for their efficiency and energy density. However, their chemical composition also poses significant risks. They contain volatile electrolytes which when exposed to high temperatures or physical damage can release flammable gases.

Overcharging or overheating can lead to thermal runaway, a chain reaction of uncontrolled heating that can cause fires or explosions. When exposed to high temperatures or physical damage, the volatile electrolytes in these batteries release flammable gases.

The environmental challenges are equally concerning. Burnt-out lithium-ion batteries complicate waste management efforts, as they require specialized handling to prevent further contamination.

Even after a fire is extinguished, the risk of reignition persists. Signs of potential failure, such as bulging, cracking, or venting gases, require immediate attention to prevent catastrophic outcomes.

Cellphone lithium batteries will never cause the level of destruction of battery storage facilities, like seen recently near San Francisco, CA, but they can burn down your home. Something to keep in mind especially if you like to keep your phone on/near your bed. Honestly devices with lithium batteries should be placed in a container with at least a good fire alarm or even fire suppression system. These devices will increase in spontaneously combusting as the earths magnetic field continues to weaken and it becomes more chaotic which will expose us and our technology to odd electromagnetic anomalies. I believe this is why there has been an increase in large passenger planes malfunctioning in addition to causing Teslas to go out of control/spontaneously combust.

'UNBELIEVABLE AND SCARY': Lithium-ion battery from vape pen sparks house fire in Lake Worth

Marc Theaman was working in his office at a house they were renting in Lake Worth on Monday at about noon when the patio suddenly caught fire.

Theaman quickly ran downstairs and panicked when he saw flames and heavy smoke coming from the backyard into the dining area.
Ogilbee was told by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue officials that a vape pen’s lithium-ion batteries sparked the flames.

WPTV reported in November that Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was warning about a rise in lithium-ion battery fires.

“Just a small device could cause this type of damage, which is unbelievable and scary,” stated Ogilbee.

There are more small devices than large devices, maybe even more than phones, so they will be more common. Still, this can happen to any device with lithium batteries in them from vapes, cellphones, laptops, E-bikes, EVs/hybrids, to battery storage facilities.

Apple’s Sales Struggle
By: TrendSpider | January 14, 2025

Key Takeaways:

• Sales Drop: iPhone sales fell 5%, with market share at 18% in Q4 2024.
• AI Delays: iPhone 16 shipments dropped 10%-12% due to unmet AI expectations.
• Premium Demand: Pro models excelled in China; emerging markets showed growth.

Apple Faces iPhone Sales Decline Amid AI Delays and Growing Competition

AAPL (Apple Inc.) reported a 5% drop in global iPhone sales for Q4 2024, with shipments falling to 76.9 million units, marking a 4.1% decline compared to the same period in 2023. Apple’s market share dropped to 18%, down from 19% the previous year, as the global smartphone market grew by 4%. This decline reflects increasing competition, particularly from Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Vivo, which collectively captured a record-breaking 56% of global smartphone shipments in Q4 2024, according to IDC. These companies are advancing their AI tools, intensifying Apple’s challenge in maintaining its market position.

Challenges and Opportunities

Apple’s AI rollout delays have been a key factor in the sales decline. The Apple Intelligence suite, which is only available in English and dependent on the latest hardware, has not yet launched in China, one of Apple’s largest markets. This has impacted the appeal of the iPhone 16 series, which saw underwhelming demand due to unmet expectations surrounding AI features.

Despite these setbacks, Apple saw an increase in demand for its Pro and Pro Max models, which accounted for more than 50% of all shipments in China. Additionally, emerging markets like Latin America and India showed promising growth, partially offsetting the declines in more competitive regions. To regain momentum, Apple will need to overcome its AI limitations and strengthen its product differentiation, particularly in response to growing competition. In total, Apple sold 232.1 million iPhones in 2024, reflecting a slight 2% decrease compared to the previous year.

By: Peter DiCarlo | January 13, 2025

• $AAPL has been trending above the weekly market bias since May 2024. As long as it continues to make higher lows, we're looking at a bullish structure.

The market bias is also expanding and showing bright green, indicating this is typically the lowest level Wall Street allows before the stock finds its footing.

For those considering a more aggressive approach, you could focus on the daily chart, waiting for the BX to turn green or make a higher low. Since this hasn't happened yet, patience is key.

For even more confirmation, wait for the BX on the weekly chart to make a higher low.

• $AAPL - After a 2 week decline it found support at the 20 week MA. A weekly close below the 20 week MA may lead to a multi month downtrend into Q2 similar to last year. In 2023 it topped in mid December and declined for the next 4 months into mid April 2024.

Apple $AAPL Market Movers
By: TrendSpider | January 12, 2025

• Apple is retesting key resistance below its 50-day SMA after sliding 8.9% since late December. Hidden Bullish RSI divergence hints at potential stabilization, but pressure remains after Berkshire Hathaway sold over 600 million shares in 2024, cutting its stake by 67%. If support fails, the Point of Control at ~$228 is the next key level to watch.

EVs are lithium bombs waiting to go off.
So are smart phones, I'm keeping my land line as backup!
This is true, but the higher voltage and thus larger EM field of EVs make them more dangerous than cellphones and more likely to spontaneously combust due to things like dendrite buildup.

Check out the growing list of major airliners experiencing malfunctions since the end of 2024. EM radiation is causing technical glitches and malfunctions all over the place.

========================================

How does EMF cause lithium batteries to experience thermal runaway and thus spontaneously combust? One of two main ways:

#1 - Overcharge/Discharge

With various impressed external magnetic field intensities an effect was noticed on the charge and discharge curves as well as the charge and mass concentrations within the batteries. With the two-dimensional model starting from 0mT and going to 1mT had the effect of discharging the battery faster and charging the battery faster. With the two-dimensional model starting from 1mT and going to -1mT had the effect of charging the battery faster. In either case an effect on the various characteristics of the battery were studied. With the experiments conducted on the two types of batteries the effect was more profound than subtle. Discharge times were twice as fast and charge times were equally
affected. With the smaller batteries they all generally charged faster under the presence of a magnetic field due to more uniform penetration. In the presence of the field they also discharged faster. The larger batteries would not see the same uniform penetration because only a small area of the battery sees the center of the coil it is placed on

In this dissertation, they found that external magnetic fields significantly increased charge and discharge rates in individual lithium battery cells; like shown in the following image. They also found that smaller batteries were impacted to a greater degree than larger ones. This is likely a reason Tesla is switching to larger battery cells in addition to employing magnetic attenuating honeycomb sandwich battery pack.

thermoelectromagnetic convection occurs in the vicinity of the solid-liquid interface, and vortices are generated between dendritic arms. It is shown that the thermoelectromagnetic convection has a major influence on dendritic morphology.

By: Peter DiCarlo | January 9, 2025

• Sadly $AAPL looks like it's expansion mode is now coming to an end.

If the BX closes this Friday red, we will confirm bearish redistribution.

The last 4 times this happened $AAPL sold off -10% or consolidated.

BOTH are not environments to be long in my opinion

We need confirmation FIRST.

As a last note, I would NOT look to short an up trend. Instead I wait patiently for the market environment to meet my criteria and simply trade something else.

Fire breaks out in Tesla battery storage facility in Tilburg

A fire broke out Saturday at a Tesla battery storage facility in Tilburg, according to local authorities. The fire, which involved smoldering batteries, was quickly brought under control by the fire department.

Crews moved the batteries outside and placed them in a water-filled container, known as a "dunk tank," to cool them down. The fire was contained within an hour.

The fire occurred in a storage warehouse located on Asteriastraat in the Vossenberg industrial area. The building was evacuated, and the 50 employees inside were safely accounted for, with no injuries reported. The warehouse's sprinkler system helped prevent the fire from spreading further within the building.

At this time, the cause of the fire remains unknown, and an investigation is underway.
Lithium batteries are dangerous regardless of what they are used in whether cellphones, mopeds, EVs, or even battery storage facilities. EM radiation causes lithium batteries to spontaneously combusting.
