Solarbatt Pty Ltd sells batteries on a website that can be used for generating electric power when camping. They have offices in the United States and Australia.

Harry from Canada is on a tour around Australia and buys a Solarbatt battery online through the US website when he is at an internet caf in Sydney.

He receives the battery at a friend's address in Sydney and then heads off for a three month tour around Australia. While he is camping in the second week of his trip the battery overheats starting a fire which destroys his vehicle
