The initial report did not indicate that a potential thermal runaway event occurred and thus, was not deemed a reportable event.Upon further investigation, a visual inspection was conducted and it appears that a thermal event occurred.It is not possible to determine the exact sequence of events that led to the thermal event.However, there is evidence that a short occured in the lower battery pack between the cells and printed circuit board.There was a blackening on the top of the lower battery pack and its printed circuit board (pcb).Cells 2 and 3 appear to have been involved in the thermal event, likely by supplying energy into a fault in the board.Additionally there was a slight melting of the handset plastic enclosure.This concludes the investigation.
