WHAT CAUSES BATTERIES TO SWELL?

Swollen batteries, while not common, are a significant risk. They are the result of too much current inside a cell of the battery, which causes a build-up of heat and gas. This can be caused by overcharging, manufacturer defect, deep discharge, or damage to the battery. If you’ve been on a commercial flight in the past few years, you’ll be familiar with the instruction that if you drop your phone, alert the cabin crew who’ll pick it up for you. While it’s very kind of them, they’re not just being nice. If the phone falls into the mechanism of the seat it could be crushed if you move your seat. This could damage the lithium-ion battery causing it to overheat and burst into flames. Not something you want on a flight.
