Today we want to talk about a not too common problem that concerns defective iPhones or those that have been powered incorrectly: the battery swells.
What happens in these cases?
What do we have to do?
Here are all the answers to the iPhone Battery Inflator problem .
The lithium-ion , also known as Li-Ion are nothing more than specially designed accumulators to be recharged several times, almost indefinitely.
The point is that, unlike the old nickel-cadmium batteries , these are designed not to suffer from the "memory" effect, ie the tendency to progressively reduce the autonomy due to the "memory" of the previous recharge.
This means that they are certainly more powerful and performing but that, in some cases, continuous charging and the lack of attention to its correct use could lead to problems and malfunctions.
Battery Inflates iPhone Causes and Solutions
For iPhones, Apple has promoted the 40-80 rule with iOS 13 which establishes that for the maintenance of optimal functioning the battery should always remain in a degree of autonomy ranging from 40% to 80%.
This means that you should not wait for the autonomy to drop below 40% and that the device should be disconnected from the socket when it reaches 80%.
The reason lies in the suffering of this type of batteries at high temperatures.
Using other brands of charging devices , leaving the device always charged or exposing it to sources of heat can seriously compromise the battery and, therefore, cause it to swell.
Use the battery carefully
There is also to be considered that this problem can occur if the device is left completely discharged for too long or used intensively.
The iPhone battery works by moving the lithium ions from one electrode to the other when it is charged and, on the contrary, when the movement is used it reverses .
Migration is facilitated by a volatile and highly flammable organic chemical compound, the electrolyte.
The two electrodes are immersed in this liquid and separated by a safety membrane which ensures that the battery works normally .
When the process is altered for the reasons mentioned above, the moving liquid causes the battery to swell and if you do not take action immediately , gas may leak .
Battery Inflates Dangers
Ignoring this problem is really risky because we should never come into contact with the gases inside the battery.
The device could also continue to swell and explode so our advice is to duel to turn everything off, disconnect the device from any power cables and take it immediately to service.
IPhone Battery Replacement at UAE Technician Service Center in Dubai UAE
If you have acted promptly, you can solve the problem by replacing the battery in a qualified service center to work on Apple devices such as UAE Technician
If the swelling has gone on and the screen has stopped working or gas has escaped, the internal components may have been damaged so the damage could be greater.
In any case, always try to intervene as soon as possible and if you have just purchased the device remember that it could be covered by warranty, so you will be entitled to replacement.
