Ja sa bong Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I've been seeing this online on posts people make on social media sites but I experience it last week. I plugged my phone as usual and slept off but only to wake up in the morning to see the battery swollen like a pregnant woman. It did freaked me out because I was thinking what if the phone had exploded 🤯?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It is not overcharging that makes batteries swell up though. They swell up when they have used up their life span. Even if you charge sparingly it will still swell eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 That sounds terrifying! You should definitely stop using that phone and get the battery replaced immediately. Keeping it in that condition can be really dangerous. Are you currently using the certified charger for your device because some third-party chargers may overcharge your device as well.

Knight Plug Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 It is recommended you use the same plug that it comes with in the box, as the voltage or fuse could be higher or lower, so it may get too hot. 😩 On X, I hate it how they don't have a (free) edit button. You may want to just correct a small typo. But nah. Upgrading is the only way. 😅 killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpvr Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I’ve never experienced this issue before, but it’s honestly scary to wake up to your phone being swollen like that. Did you replace the phone? Ja sa bong and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you replace the phone? I changed the battery but still had to change the phone in 2 months time as I was not comfortable with using it again. It's the only scary experience I've had with with smartphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizdustry Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I’ve only ever had one battery swell up. When a battery swells up it’s not usually become of overcharging, it’s because of its reaching the end of lifespan. So any battery, even those in cars can only be charged so many times before it has to be replaced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
