Nokia BL-5C Battery

Last Wednesday, it was on the news. Watch the video clip here.

A woman woke up at about 1 a.m. to the loud explosion apparently of her cell phone while it was charging. Watch the video clip after the jump.

Lilibeth Vasquez-Legasto was sleeping in her room together with her daughter and grandchild when her Nokia N91 exploded while it was charging. Mrs. Legasto claimed that the cellphone and all its accessories are original. A professor from the UP Engineering Department believes that it’s the battery that caused the explosion.

Guess what? My mom’s celfone battery reads Nokia BL-5C Battery. I know because I bought it here. She has a 6600 celfone unit. My brother owns the same model with the same battery.

I logged on to:

and checked if their batteries need replacement. And here’s what it says:

Your battery is not among those manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006 and your battery will not be replaced.

Thank you for checking your battery.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
