Its similar case, but remember, GP is Ni-MH and IIRC DELL notebook is Li-ION battery...It looks like the batteries where short circuited as the victim said "the bag felt warm to the touch".
This incident could be very similar to the case of the DELL notebook that caught fire due to internal battery short circuit.
The battery should be sent back to GP for further failure analysis to find out the root cause.
Hopefully, this is not a product problem.
I guess they are trying to pack too much power capacity into the batteries... :think:It looks like our modern batteries are getting more unsafe ..... So dangerous
I don't think its a charger. It is looks like a small bag to protect the battery.Oh my god..All my batteries are GP...from 1600 2000 2300 2700...walao..worry liao...but I should recommend everybody put the batteries carefully..never make them short circuit by accidentally connects its two poles by metal thing like keys...
try to seperate them ..the person put GP inside its charger..hmm..may be the charger shorted..So to avoid it..don't put you batteries in charger lor unless you charge them..Hope everybody is safe...

Read my post #5. But, it is only my guess.Oh is this...then how it blew off..hmm..worried liao..my batteries all are GP..how,how?
I been using GP2500 for my electric toothbrush. What if ... :sweat:
I think it is safe enough. It is explode because short circuit. How many cell on your electric toothbrush? If 2 cells, one cell short circuit, and one cell working, it will not provide enough electricity to run your electric toothbrush.I been using GP2500 for my electric toothbrush. What if ... :sweat:
