I kind of may have ordered a Mini 0805 and the tracking info shows it's already in Canada (Richmond, BC) and it should be at my location on the east coast in a week or two or three. I feel like it's time to graduate from my G1W as it's kind of coming apart and the case itself bent a little because of heat I believe.
I know the 0805 has a battery and based on what I heard with the G1W-xx models that have a battery, I'm worried that it might explode and take my car along with it if I leave it in the sun. I know, pretty stupid not to worry before buying.
I'm always in Michigan and Ontario so I get my fair share of snow and the cold. Only worry I have is during the summer season when it gets hot. I always try my best to park under the shade or indoors. Only time I park outside in the sun is when I'm at home and maybe when I can't find decent parking.
So, what is the likelihood of the 0805 spontaneously combusting? Has there been any reports of the battery in it exploding? I've did some search but I came up empty.
I do have the habit of just taking off the camera as soon as I park to deter people from breaking into my car so I'm only worried for that one day I forget and it happens to be a really hot day and I parked in the sun.
