Are you chalishing to mimic the effect of the booby-trapped Hezbollah pagers but lack those precious few grams of C4 explosive for the battery? Don’t worry, I can help you. That’s what I’m here for.
All you need to do is charge your phone using a USB port on Israeli public transportation with a simple wire (not a good quality charger!). Since the electricity travels in irregular bursts (“pulses”) this may cause your phone battery to expand, heat up, catch fire… and maybe even explode!
(Overheard from a phone technician.)
