Lithium battery charge fire caused two dead and one injury the prosecutor, in an indictment, accused the king in June 2010 from Nanjing Guangzhou Lu Jincheng Electric Vehicle Sales center bought ternary polymer lithium battery, during the use of the battery was hit, after the rain, Wang Yuetian is still on July 26, 2010 Night in Nanjing Haining Leisure Restaurant Co., Ltd. Hotel room 403 to recharge the battery. That night with the dormitory people have reminded Wang Yuetian is charging batteries have burnt paste flavor, Wang startled not to take stop charging and other related measures, resulting in the lithium battery in 1:30 A.M. deflagration, causing fire, resulting in 404 room Nanjing University Astronomy department rented to students internship accommodation of two female college students in a certain, and some death,　　411 Room Another Wuhan Huazhong University graduate student relies on a jump to escape from a fire, resulting in the left femoral shaft fracture seriously injured and other serious consequences.　　Reporter learned that the 1986-born defendant Wang Yuetian has a university culture, after the department of Guangzhou Jiang Door Network Technology Co., Ltd. software engineer, the reason to live in Haining Hotel, Department of Citic Group in order to work in Nanjing branch, Jiangsu million and computer training center specialized training.

"Qualified lithium batteries have a very low probability of fire, probably in one out of 10,000, even if there is a deflagration, and so on, it should be responsible for production and distributors, because ordinary consumers do not have the ability to identify and deal with."　　"Prince Winter in the final speech stage so supplemented."
