SUMMARY: - Many people have said that their battery literally "boiled" like real acid. - Now all lithium-ion is equipped with controllers, sensors, and charge balancers to reduce the risk of fire. But sometimes this doesn t help. - The battery in the phone can very easily be damaged if you drop your phone or accidentally step on it. If it s damaged, the correct order of operation of the electrodes will be violated, destroying the battery and provoking an explosion. - We can t know under what conditions the battery of our phone was created. It could have been scratched during assembly, disrupting the technology, or accidentally introducing small metal particles into it. - If you notice that the phone has become hot while charging, then it s better to unplug the cable and allow the phone to cool. - The phone manufacturers create chargers that perfectly match the battery in your phone. Yes, it ll cost a bit more, but it’ll be less than the cost of a new phone. The same goes for the battery itself. - It d be better to charge the phone in an open space. And it s best not to charge the phone overnight at all; just do it during the day when you can pay attention to it. - Don t leave your phone charging in hot places. The sun can raise the temperature of the battery and it won t lead to anything good. - If you notice that the battery of your phone is running out quickly, then bring it to an authorized service center. You ll most likely need to replace it. - Don t carry your phone in your back pocket. You might forget about it and accidentally sit down, which will lead to the deformation of the battery. - Batteries don’t only explode in phones. Many cases have been recorded of laptops, toasters, hoverboards, and electric vehicles igniting. - Charge the phone as often as needed, but just a little bit. If you constantly charge it to one hundred percent and use the gadget until it s completely out of battery, then the battery will be able to handle about 500-700 charge cycles. - Watch the temperature. Not only can the sun s rays harm the battery, but also frost. Carrying your phone in the outside pocket of your jacket in winter is a bad idea. - Try to replace the battery in any of your devices at least once every two or three years.
