My friend sent me this warning . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . of a portable GPS device.


A GPS was placed in its bracket on the windshield of a car in photos below and left in the sun.
The battery overheated and exploded !
Just Look at the devistating damage!

This also applies to cell phones, tablets, digital cameras, and other devices that use lithium batteries. This may be the reason why the US Postal Service will no longer ship electronic devices that contain lithium batteries?

So beware, not everyone knows not to leave electronic devices in the sun. Looks like a good lesson for some to learn before it's too late.
