      you could but you gotta know the battery isn't punctured or bloating. other than that ive found it completely fine just as long as you have the gun at low temperatures.
      i will agree that the good ol alcohol and patience works just fine and i guess it is the 'safer' way to work with batteries but whatever works best for us right? i will say some of these devices have some pretty damn good adhesive so whatever you do, its still pretty damn tedious sometimes.

    Thermal runaway often occurs at high temperatures as they can trigger exothermic reactions in the battery. As the reactions produce more heat and increase battery temperature (with say, a heat gun), it can lead to the destruction of the battery, as well as workplace fires and explosions.
    TL-DR: Heat + Battery = fire. Use rubbing alcohol.

      @OneAndOnlyZekePolaris Рік тому

      Don't think he cares about that since he is getting that battery out anyways. No point on caring for the battery's life. If it does catches up in flames he could take it out easier and just throw it to the side. (for explosions, that is why we have safety goggles) Also how do you reach it with alcohol? Everyone talks about using this but doesn't explain on how to do it. In other words you can't just put alcohol on the adhesive when you can't even reach it.

    Leave it in the sun, safer than heat gun. Use a syringe (or just drip it in there) to add some rubbing alcohol under the battery. Pry it out with an old credit card carefully.
    Don't heat your battery with a heat gun.

    For all you know, that may have been the indicator glitch, and you spent $20 on a new battery when all you had to do was let the Switch idle until it died on its own a minimum of 6 times. It would've eventually fixed itself

    Happened to me. Please don’t do this. I just let a UA-cam video play for a several hours to kill it completely then charge it up and it’s fine again. Problem is not using the switch frequently. Happened to another switch where all I did was disconnect the battery for 30 seconds, plugged it back in, works great now. Sometimes it just needs a reset!

    • @ssjoel3k
      @ssjoel3k 9 місяців тому

      This. The Gameboy SP just requires one screw to be removed and the battery is easy to swap. I think the same may be true for the Wii U Gamepad.
      What was Nintendo thinking when they made the decision to glue the battery in place?! Not to mention the hassle it is just to get to the battery (especially on the regular switch).
      As much as I love Nintendo, I think something needs to be said about this. They’ve got such a huge fan base who will continue to collect their consoles for years, and the thought that years from now, Switches will slowly become unusable unless you go through this painful process to replace the battery is just such a huge shame. I really wish they would have thought it through more. Some simple foam would have been more than sufficient.

      @@ssjoel3k I agree with you, even the Wii U gamepad is super easy to replace the battery from it, using such strong glue for the Switch is not only bad, but also dangerous in my opinion. Image someone uses a sharp tool to remove it, and he accidentally pierces the battery, it will catch on fire fast. Hopefully Nintendo will do it differently for their upcoming "Switch 2" console.

    What makes a lithium ion battery explode? Is it..
    A) Heat gun
    Or B) oxygen exposure
    Simple answer is no a heat gun won’t explode your battery if your only putting it there for 20 seconds or so, what REALLY blows up lithium ion is the exposure to oxygen which can make it catch fire and burn for days on end.. so if he somehow melted a hold in the plastic casing for the battery I’d worry but no worries here just a guy doing his job and princesses in the comments not knowing anything but still getting boomer level mad 😊
    Edit: where do you think most hydrogen bombs sit (car batteries) there in the engine bay on top of the HOT engine and not exploding? Weird isn’t it
