I had my mp4 on my lap for about 5 minutes and my player expanded!! When i opened it at home the battery was twice it's normal width.

You definitely need a new battery.

Remove the old one and put it in a fireproof container.

*carefully* puncture it outside to relieve pressure and explosion risk, away from anything that could catch fire.

Don't be too surprised if it does catch fire. Let it burn out, lion battery fires are very difficult to extinguish.

No problem! :mrgreen:
I had the same thing with my mobile phone.
You can "resurrect" your battery
if you'll put your battery into player
and do this operation very fast :
"startcharging-stopcharging-start-stop-start-stop..."
After some cycles you'll see that
your battery is becoming OK. 8)
(But I don't know how to make
the normal size of the battery)

WIZARD, are you out of you mind?! the lipo batteries are extremely dangerous types of batteries, they require a expensive circuit to make it safe and avoid the fire and explosion risk, but all these Chinese batteries doesn't have this circuits. search in youtube for batteries explodes and will see what can do.

remember several laptops sellers recall his batteries, do yo think they will lost so money if the risk is no so high.
