Here's a typical pager battery. It can supply 3.8 volts and has a capacity of 2800 milliampere-hours, so the energy contained in the battery is 38.3 kJ. That's equivalent to roughly 22.5 grams of RDX, which has an energy density of 1.7 kJ/gram.

Short-circuiting the pager battery for a prolonged period of time can cause it to heat and swell up, building up potential energy until it explodes. This can release enough energy to account for the explosions we saw today.

The pagers could have been detonated remotely without any physical tampering.

Not possible. It would catch fire before it exploded. There also wouldn't be such a consistent effect across 3000 different devices.

High explosives would have been detected. Infiltrating the supply and tampering with so many pagers is also unlikely. The pagers were simply hacked.

i have 0 knowledge in electrical engineering so here is my schematic of the way it detonated.

I agree, there had to have been some kind of explosive material added in there. But how did they set it off in such a small package without using something sensitive enough to go off accidentally?

A primary explosive of some kind would have certainly gone off by accident at some point due to the devices not being handled like they were dangerous. A secondary explosive would take something much larger than what you could fit inside a pager to set off.
