The product, in the report: Cell phone battery for LG v10
I purchased a cell phone battery from Amazon from PowerBear. I received the battery on 5/21/17 at which time I charged it for@ 12 hours. On 5/22/17, I had real issues except that I had to charge my phone 2 times that day. I felt that was unusual as it was a new battery. On 5/23/17, I used my phone briefly in the morning, and as I was preparing to pick my children up from school, I went to grab my phone from my dresser and noticed it was extremely hot, similar to the bottom of a pan on a hot stove. I noticed that the phone was stuck on the home screen, none of the functions were working. I took a small piece of wood and pulled the battery out, I was fearful of the battery catching fire. I placed my original battery back into the phone, upon turning the device, it was stuck on the home screen. The defective battery caused the internal wires in my phone to get fried ( this is what the AT&T representative). My concern is that the battery could have possibly burned one of my children.
