Unattended E-Cigarette Explodes, Car Burns

In another of those stories that’s a reminder not to ignore warnings never to leave charging batteries unattended, a Glendale, AZ man left his eGo charging in the cigarette lighter of his car earlier today, When he came back, the back end of the battery had blown off and his back seat was on fire.

It’s about 84 degrees in Glendale today. That’s not exactly hot by Arizona standards, but heat combined with an enclosed space and a charging battery is definitely not something to just walk away from.

Although the fire was extinguished quickly and nobody was hurt, we are certain that car is not going to smell normal again for a long, long time.
