RE: Behavioural patterns of batteries on exposure to extreme temperatures: my date with -25 degree Celsius

in StemSocial2 years ago

I had a samsung note 4 about 3 years ago, that time most would consider it an antique because it was out of fashion, most people were using note 10 and the likes and so people always looked at my fon and smiled but i liked it, i tried to take good care of it but then i experienced this swelling happening and i went to change the battery at a repair shop but it didn't take long before it happened again, it happened with about 3 new batteries until i eventually had to let the fon go and get a new one.

In my case, it is making me wonder why it could have been so? Do you think perhaps it could have been as a result of my charging unit which was destroying the others or something to do with the electrolytes? Well i still don't get why it happened like that till now though but i must say that your writeup was really intriguing and i loved how the story went, i couldn't stop reading and i am glad i got to learn from this.

Thank you for sharing, very much appreciated

The best and probably the most suitable reason could be that those batteries were not genuine ones. There are many of them in the market.
It's always difficult getting the original ones, and even if you find the genuine ones, they are always very expensive. Over heating was common with Samsung phones, I back then in university, I used S4. I cannot but agree more with you. I had to use power bank then to support it. Mine was mainly over heating but didn't swell because I had bought the original battery (very expensive).

In a nutshell, it's all about the quality of the battery.

Thanks for the read☺️
