Mobile electronics have surpassed our expectations on battery life, time and time again. It seems that as time progresses, the devices get smaller and thinner, while shrinking their batteries, yet still manage to provide us with longer battery life. However, as battery technology advances over time, they still remain degradable parts that wear with time.
Common Battery Problems
Generally when a battery starts to wear, you start to see performance issues with your device. Performance issues can include but are not limited to:
- Device powering off at battery percentages above 5%
- Device not powering on at all
- Slow phone or freezing apps
- Swelling of the battery
- Batteries can even explode (in rare circumstances)
Although it is rare for a battery to catch fire, there are some situations which increase the likelihood of seeing some flames. Something we have seen often here at
Manhattan iPhone Repair are screens bulging out of devices. This is generally due to the swelling of the battery inside the phone. Swelling is usually caused by an excess current sitting idle in the cell of a battery, which causes the cell to inflate with heat and gas. If this happens with your device, you need to be extremely careful as a puncture to the battery can cause a fire or even an explosion with a release of fumes that can be dangerous. Furthermore, the pressure put on the screen can cause the LCD to break or even the glass to shatter.
