[solved] My Battery has expanded!!
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.
What do i do? Do i put it in the fridge, just leave it or deflate it (with a pin)? Please help!!! pictures to come. Cheers |

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) |

And you can buy the extra battery in case.

Re: Help with Mp4 player battery
As you see, I haven't harmed myself.
I just using this battery now... And it's working! :mrgreen: P.S. Maybe nothing happened with me because I didn't know about this danger... :P |
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. |
You should definitely NOT mess around with lithium based batteries, they can and will EXPLODE or CATCH FIRE if charged with too high of a voltage or for too long. Look at videos on Youtube if you don't believe me.
I often need to charge those separately from the devices they came from, but became worried when some of the older ones started to swell up, and after reading about the fire hazard when using improper methods for charging lithium batteries, i built myself a Li-ion charger circuit. ;) That way i can still recharge any type of Li-Ion or Li-Po battery and recover old batteries that have been disabled by the safety circuit for getting too discharged while still being sure they aren't going to blow. If you do charge them, charge them the right way. |
And the new one......
Works to perfection, YAY!!! However i now think that the first one(with the bust battery) was second hand, becouse the new one is supposed to be the same but the firmware is different - different welcome and goodbye screen, more animations ect. |
Great to know you got a good replacement. :)

Maybe because my battery isn't Chinese,
I don't know where it was manufactured. However, even after these start-stop cycles, the battery is really weak, and can stay for 2-3 hours at max. |

Glad you got the player replaced and with a better model one. Where did you buy it from by the way? Also, what did the seller say about it and whether he gave an explanation to the problem? |
