Web search for “lithium battery fire” to see what will happen if you do this to your cell phone.

If she’s invented a new form of magic cap, that would be nice, but I wouldn’t use it to charge my phone. Maybe to replace the battery *in* my phone, but that’s another matter.

As a side exercise ... consider this - think about circumstances and events where the media has reported on something you actually know about. How poor was the reporting?

And yet people trust the media to report to them on things that they don’t know about directly with any amount of accuracy or clarity???

I’ve said this for years. They get basic stuff wrong - like what company somebody works at, or what address some place is. Its uncanny.

I've used this exact arguments to stimulate some light-bulb moments in folk who were drinking the koolaid. Everyone has at least one subject that they know a great deal about. If you can get them to think back to any reportage they might have seen in the past about that particular subject, the overwhelming response I've gotten from people is that the media got the story completely wrong.
