So you think getting a typical counterfeit battery may be easier on your wallet...for now. However, quality and safety problems may surface only upon extended usage. There are even more dire consequences than just performance failure. In the example of mobile phones, batteries and accessories, there have been media reports on malfunctions of batteries in mobile phones, resulting in overheating or even an ‘explosion’ that may cause shock and physical injury to the users – a heavy price to pay indeed.
In times of emergency when emergency devices and equipment must perform at the highest level – a situation that cannot be compromised by counterfeit products that would fail under heavy demand and usage - such failures could result in the loss of life, property and assets that far out-weigh the purchase ‘savings’ from counterfeits. |
