iPhone Battery Swollen Repair
When cell phone batteries become old, they may start to inflate due to a number of reasons. One primary reason is the degradation of the internal components over time. Over prolonged use, the chemical reactions within the battery result in the production of gas. In the case of aging batteries, these gases can accumulate inside the battery casing, causing it to expand. Additionally, other factors such as overheating, the presence of impurities, or manufacturing defects can contribute to the inflation of old cell phone batteries. It is crucial to address this issue promptly as an inflated battery can pose serious safety risks, including the possibility of leakage or even explosion. If you notice your phone battery inflating, it is highly recommended to seek professional assistance for battery replacement to ensure the safe and proper functioning of your device.
Do you have an iPhone 5, 5S, 5C or iPhone 6 that has decreased battery life and is now puffy and swollen to the point it has pushed your screen out and even cracked it?
This is a typical issue faced with mobile devices that have lithium ion polymer batteries.
Every iPhone device has a Li-ion battery inside and eventually it will need to be replaced. Typically most batteries are only rated at about 600-700 charge cycles, after or even before this time the battery life will be much shorter then it used to be. It may also get a bit warm as the cells inside the battery wear out. 🔋
See more info about battery cycle counts here:
A cycle is considered when a charge from <5% - 100%
Occasionally when the cells get worn out from so many charge and discharge cycles it can swell up in the phone causing it to damage or even crack the screen.
Unfortunately when this happens, not only does the battery need to be replaced, but the lcd screen assembly as well. When the screen is being pushed out it will crack and ruin the sensitive under part of the screen which can often result in no image on the device also.
