I know I know, many of you are tired of Note 7 talk. This issue began at the start of the NFL season and here we are at the end of the season still talking Note 7. Sorry but if you can hold back your wrath just "one more gin" I'll try and wrap it up with a quick summary that will hold back from trigger words such as "exploded, exploding, or explosions".
But Samsung has concluded it's investigations and as we thought the incidents were a result of faulty batteries. The original batteries were manufactured incorrectly with small casings and negative electrodes located in the wrong spot. The second batch, used to try and correct the issues with the first, had welding burrs that penetrated the protective tape.
To prevent any future issues Samsung has put in place a committee that will oversea the process as well as put batteries through extensive testing before releasing to the public.
