Every now and then we hear a really bizarre story connected to HTC in some way.  Today, that story concerns a user over at PPCGeeks.  He had a spare HTC Touch Pro battery in his back pants pocket (why?  who knows).  Well, he left it in the pocket overnight, and the next day, he smelled smoke.  It turns out that the battery had expanded and actually started a fire!  While there wasn’t enough oxygen to really blaze up, the battery did ruin the pants.  Fortunately, this is not something that happens very often.  In fact, the conditions necessary for it are fairly rare…as long as you don’t leave your battery in your pants!
