This does not “fix” anything. The reason a battery swells is because the chemicals inside the battery are breaking down. Nobody should do this under ANY circumstances. If your battery is swollen, GET A NEW BATTERY. If you do this, you’re just asking to get your hand blown off.

Thought that occurred to me: A lancing device such as the one used by diabetics to give themselves very small pinpricks on their fingers for blood sugar testing might be ideal for this kind of operation. The lancing device is calibrated to only penetrate the surface by less than a millimetre (you can typically set the precise depth), and cannot go any deeper than that.
Tried this the ohter day. Somehow, I just woke up afterwards, when the firemen pulled my out of my burning house. The good thing is, the phone is still working, even with the backplate missing. And the insurance both pays for new house, furniture, clothes and phone! Looking forward to get the new model! Love insurance and youtube tricks!
my battery is aluminum. The reason it swells is the lithium puts out many gases when the battery gets very hot, and thus the swelling. Some of these gasses are toxic and flammable.
The solution looks relieving but dangerous, I did, the battery emitted some gases like smoke and the battery become very hot. Just be careful. Either continue using like that or replace your battery
This "fix" worked on a fully charged but badly swollen kg40 cell phone battery. The phone and battery worked fine but the swelling had misaligned the protective case, so it was hard to operate the side controls and to charge the phone. Working outdoors, with the back end of the back phone cover raised and the battery still in place, I put a strip of scotch tape over the center of the swollen battery. Using a toothpick to pierce the battery did not work. The battery membrane was just too tough and the toothpick wasn't sharp or tough enough to do the job! Next, working at a small angle to the battery, I used a sharp needle to make a very shallow tiny pinhole through the tape and membrane. I quickly pressed out the swelling and put several layers of tape over the hole. Very little air, if any got into the battery. It's far too soon to tell how long this "fix" will last, but it is working fine. Yes getting a new replacement battery is inexpensive (about $11 on Ebay), but until the "fixed" battery fails, I won't worry about it. If it fails and I decide to keep my phone, I will replace the battery. Putting in a new battery will actually be much more work then this simple "fix".
I did this 4years ago on my old Vivo Y85, the small tiny hole remain unsealed just to make sure that it will not be swell again, now yr 2023 still kicking, believe me this method is very safe just make a hole in the the very thin first layer of your battery to remove the gas, piercing in sideways to avoid piercing directly the internal parts of the battery.
If you are desperate enough to try this, which is not recommended, use a tooth pick instead of a pin then you have zero chance to F yourself or the battery up. The best solution is to buy a new battery, there's a reason why it swelled up in the first place.
You would think the makers would incorporate a valve to release any build up of gases? Thanks for the tip. I just took the back of; charged it a bit and the back just would not go back on!!! BP -4L. Has an all metal case! Will put in Frig.!
but the tape is not strong enough and next time the battery generates gas, it will leak through the tape and will leave a hole there, not only the gas is highly flammable but the opening as you just mentioned will be a way for the moisture to get in.
@@Henry-sv3wv because that is a sign of a battery dying, in the worst case it will blow up no amount of fixes will prevent that and he just did it worse by making away for the toxic gases to go out of the battery.
WARNING..: NEVER take appart a mobile phone with a charged battery.. Always DRAIN the battery so its empty before taking the phone appart. Reason is batterys can easy ignite or explode when you bend them or when you try to puncture them. Dont do what you see in the video buy a NEW original battery or one that is certified... Be very aware that there are many bad copy batterys in example Asia. Some are okay some are dangerous to use. A battery that catch fire while in your pocket can and will burn you very badly in just 2-3 seconds. And you might even risk the battery explode while you use your phone or burn down your house at night while charging. DO NOT buy a cheap battery.
Batterys DO NOT ignite easily, they are extremely safe and only ignite in very extreme circumstances (such as the circumstance in this video, all it takes is the wrong tilt with that's that pin and he'll be starting some fireworks), if ignited so easily, they wouldn't be in so many phones, laptops, cars, etc. The problem the is when they do ignite though, they can be extremely nasty, especially lithium ion chemistry. In my 15 years of repairing phones and laptops, I've never once had a battery go up in flames, and I've shorted a lot of batteries in my early days. I do agree though, that if you'll be doing something potentially dangerous with, or near a li-ion battery, it's wise to discharge it as much as possible.
The state of the charge does not change the flammability of lithium. Shorting a mobile battery while it is drained is more dangerous than shorting it while it still holds some charge, because 1 - it will not heat up so fast to actually catch fire, you'd have to short it for quite some time, and 2 - Mobile batteries don't have PCB on them and you're essentially going to destroy the battery by making it go under 2.4v. Charger might not even recognize the battery and your phone might no longer charge, but even if that doesn't happen, there are long term damaging effects.
Your instructions saved my battery and cellphone! I had no idea that a swollen battery could be fixed. Now I can use my cell phone until my new one arrives! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Absolutely amazing fix!!!!!
Thanks alot ! Many here are just exagerating of the risks ! your method is hepful my PC is back to life but you should have proceeded wih a CATION ! People should know that before proceeding one must drain thier battery , its safer that way !
Congratulations, you just released some gaseous form if the electrolyte (Lithium-hexafluorophosphate), which is like removing some foam formed after serving soda, that foam is soda, if removed you will take less drink. On the battery, it will loose capacity. Sometimes this has reverts (recombines) if you top charge it *properly*.
DO NOT DO THIS IT SWELLS FOR A REASON "FIXING" IT DOES NO GOOD IT ACTUALLY DOES HARM BECAUSE THAT GAS WILL EITHER JUST PUFF UP THE BATTERY OR PUMP THE PHONE FULL OF FLAMEABLE TOXIC GAS MAKING IT BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE.
Lithium Ion batteries may catch on fire, they aren't bombs though, and won't "blow up". The "blow up" is merely the lithium gas under pressure. Lithium is kind of like helium but is denser.
Hello everyone please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Don't try this at home i actually did and a big blast occured and my half. Arm burnt and my bed also burnt please for god sake his one didn't exploded because he was in a temperature And moisture controlled Lab please dont end up like me
Thanks for great video and advice. Please for help if you have a few minutes to answer me 🙏 I want to buy Sams Note 9 from secnd hand and he tells to me that he replace the battery and put new, original. How to I know to check , is that exist a way to know that this, new battery is original or not, of course , without opening the phone ? Is that possiblle, some code, tricks or something ? Please for help soon is possiblle if you want. Best regards and sorry for my grammar mistakes. 🍷
It actually worked. Never thought it would be such an "easy" fix. I Woked up this morning and the phone had not been charging. Tried different cables and adapters but nothing worked. Then I found your video and tried this. Now the phone is charging. Just a temporary fix until a get a new battery or phone.
This same thing happens in the batterys in hybrid / EV cars. Lithium is a reactive alkaline metal which reacts with water pretty violently and it's why just this week a tesla "spontaneously combusted" in a wrecking yard
I have a swollen battery, is it going to get worse if I have it removed from the device, and have it inside a container, will the gas leak out, even if I don't mess with it.
Yeah he did it indoors. Ugh. Also, says not try at home. I'd have thick gloves on. I'd be affraid to do it wrong. Not worth it of the dangers. I'd just buy new battery on eBay. Then take this one Free to best buy they dispose of it.
Also the gas that comes out gives ME an instant migraine that lasts a long time. YMMV. Do this outside on the concrete. Good ventilation, and if it catches fire, won't burn your house down. You CAN'T safely pick up a device that has lit because it turns into a blow-torch that will give instant 3rd degree burns. If you have to pick it up to move it somewhere safe, you're already doing it wrong. Discharge the battery to 25% or less before doing this. If it does short, the less power in the battery, the smaller and shorter the fire will be. Use "polyimide film" (aka Capton/Kapton) tape instead of scotch tape if you have it. That's what the manufacturers wrap these batteries in to improve their airtight-ness. (if you see a really thin yellow/range tape in your computer, that's capton) It's very heat resistant, very sticky, and stays stuck for a long time.
and itll swell up in a few day again, its not a fix, its a remedy, but the cause is still there. Dont do this, seriously. Ive seen some kid burned his chest from an li-on phone battery expl. and dieded.
That is dangerous to do A battery that is already punctured and swollen is dangerous to use. It can catch fire at anytime. It is adviceable to just replace your swollen battery with a new one. Dispose the swollen battery properly
Now you're using it for over 2 months , is everything fine ? Working great for long time? Don't get more swollen or heat? Any information or tips you can add? Thank you
6 or 7 months later, mine works fine, and hasn't swollen again. As far as loss of capacity, maybe, but since I mostly use mine for its hotspot for home internet, it stays plugged in, so any loss of capacity while unplugged is moot. Don't be afraid to do things but always be careful as possible.
Here is a common sense to people who keep saying it works. He said in the video clearly that the gas is hazardous, and then he seals the puncture with a piece of tape. What do you think will happen when the same battery swol again? This is some strongly airtight material that he puncture through, you think a piece of tape is going to prevent gas that's under pressure from coming out?
in case everything goes well, it will still supernova on you as the swelling had a reason which is still there. it will swell again and MAYBE even before being swollen completely it will BOOOOOM!!! they can just release a certain amout of gas, before they explode
The solution is to limit the charge voltage or the % to somewhere reasonable, 50-60% as it's plugged in 24/7. Maintaining 100% SoC (higher voltage) is bad for Lithion ion based chemistry.
i have a question, that your battery drain very fast when they swollen? and when after you take the gas out, anything happen in the battery preview inside the phone? (sorry if my english broken)
@@jackm6307 @asvaldoayus9419 Saying a battery charges and holds a charge after performing this absurd "fix" is misleading. The malfunction that caused the swelling in the first place is still present. The battery is compromised and very dangerous!
Be careful. The build-up of gases makes a swollen lithium-ion battery vulnerable as its casing is under stress. Never try to puncture a battery to release the gases.
It is a safety statement so no scientific proof is not needed. If there is any possibility of a chemical being in there that can spontaneously catch fire with contact with the air then this is a good statement to make. We know this can happen because plenty of people have opened a battery completely and had flakes of chemicals burst into flames on their bench minutes after the battery was opened.
Your right it would be interesting to know. Part of it we will never know though because in every lithium battery there are some secret sauce chemicals that they never tell anyone about. If one of these can spontaneously combust in contact with air it will stay a mystery. But knowing which of the known chemicals react this way would nice to know.
@@chadester001 it has been 3 weeks and my phone are still fine. You just need to twist that needle slowly not to poke too much. And careful not to breath the gas directly
Very sensible fix, wish I'd a done it before I got up this morning to a shattered phone back. All the fear mongering drama over this is ridiculous. Is the battery holding out ok since the fix?
That's not a solution. That's Dangerous basically you are keeping time bomb in your hand and pocket. And in last he says don't try this at home so what's the use of this video
i tried it at my home and the Battery was Exploed and huge fire on it . Luckyly it was in common room and no fire accident happend . so do not try this .
I just tried it. The whole entire battery blew up on my table and landed on the floor where it was on fire and doesn't put out easily when you step on it. If it would have been inside the phone? It would have destroyed the whole phone. Don't even play with the battery just throw it in the trash and get it outside of your house immediately. I got myself a nice chemical burn on my hand as well.
This is a "tech tip?" You repaired nothing. All you did was treat the symptom of a failing battery. It's still going to have problems holding a charge, and on top of that you are risking a fire in your pocket. Does that sound like a "lose lose" situation to you? It should.
⚠️(Dangerous Warning!!!) Fixing buldged up batteries is for Adults only and they need to wear goggles, respirator M3 mask and thick safety gloves, because the battery has concrete metal that can catch on fire if the terminals are touched by metal objects and it is dangerous. Also please make sure you are at outdoors or an well big ventilated open area room because it is a lot safer and better to do it as well.🔥🥼👓🥽🎧🧤🧯
Thats Basically a Bomb i Reccomend you replace the battery dont be lazy i know you tried but its A Weapon after you fix the Swollen Battery DO NOT TAKE HIS ADVICE THIS IS A WEAPON
The ION are bricking upon their self the battery as exceeded its use the reason why its swollen is because the ION have bricked and the flow of new electricity being introduce has to find the room in the Battey causing it to expand This can happen due to a lot of factors. NEVER PUNCHURE ANY BATTERY its not a good move it will NOT FIX YOUR ISSUE IF YOU HAVE A SWOLLEN BATTERY REACH OUT TO A LOCAL TECHNICIAN TO HAVE IT SERVICED , Swollen batteries are NOT a Safety Concern THEY DO NOT BLOW UP UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, How ever poking holes in any lithium ion product is a potential health hazard. lithium ion batteries are considered a consumable product MEANING WE DO EXPECT THEM TO FAIL (BE CONSUMED)
Thanks. My HP spectre has 6 battery cells and 4 of them were swollen and the casing was bending badly. I did this method with 4 of the swollen cells and my laptop casing is back to normal. I sealed the cells with glue and black tape and I'm not charging it more than 90% for now but everything seems to be working fine.
take the battery to a store and buy a new battery, that battery is telling you it reaching its end, and you just made the possibility of exploding increase.
ey bro, my phone with swollen battery, sunddenly have sounds like gas leaking if turned on, then I notice, the battery swell decreases, now I'm aftaid it might explode if charged, Can you guys comment on this?
Just a guess, but sounds like you have a leak in your battery. Though I would normally do the fix in the video, if you cannot find the leak and seal it, might be best if you replace your battery. I get the general idea this is not nearly as dangerous as people think, so I wont tell you not to use your phone in the state it is in, but not sure you should use it either.
This does not “fix” anything. The reason a battery swells is because the chemicals inside the battery are breaking down. Nobody should do this under ANY circumstances. If your battery is swollen, GET A NEW BATTERY. If you do this, you’re just asking to get your hand blown off.

i have a question, that your battery drain very fast when they swollen? and when after you take the gas out, anything happen in the battery preview inside the phone? (sorry if my english broken)
My battery was worse than this one and it was charging and holding a charge.
@@jackm6307 @asvaldoayus9419 Saying a battery charges and holds a charge after performing this absurd "fix" is misleading. The malfunction that caused the swelling in the first place is still present. The battery is compromised and very dangerous!
title don't try this at home
i will try it at school😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't wait. Here: 04:27 Bu this is not a solition. This battery will be dead 1 week later. Solition is replace with new one.
Where is your source for that information?
Be careful. The build-up of gases makes a swollen lithium-ion battery vulnerable as its casing is under stress. Never try to puncture a battery to release the gases.
You should at least discharge it before you puncture it
I did it and i inhale it and nothing happened
@@blazer7453 u can literally eat glass and nothing will happen on the short term.
Can you please provide scientific sources on your words that if room moisture goes inside the battery, it will blast or catch fire?
It is a safety statement so no scientific proof is not needed. If there is any possibility of a chemical being in there that can spontaneously catch fire with contact with the air then this is a good statement to make.
We know this can happen because plenty of people have opened a battery completely and had flakes of chemicals burst into flames on their bench minutes after the battery was opened.
@@ecospider5 Yeah I have seen that too. I just want to know what is causing it, is it the lithium?
Your right it would be interesting to know. Part of it we will never know though because in every lithium battery there are some secret sauce chemicals that they never tell anyone about. If one of these can spontaneously combust in contact with air it will stay a mystery.
But knowing which of the known chemicals react this way would nice to know.
@@ecospider5 Yeah that's what I mean. But usually they mix it to increase the ion movements.
What if both sides are swollen?????
I don't know why I'm dumb enough to follow your instruction here but you've earn yourself a new subscriber man
Did u do the above experiment
@@chadester001 it has been 3 weeks and my phone are still fine. You just need to twist that needle slowly not to poke too much. And careful not to breath the gas directly
Me“😐”
waiting for the cellphone to explode in his hand.
Very sensible fix, wish I'd a done it before I got up this morning to a shattered phone back. All the fear mongering drama over this is ridiculous. Is the battery holding out ok since the fix?
don't be a idiot lithium battery's are very dangerous
I have techno spark 4 but the battery is swelled so if I buy new battery then my phone would started???❤
Do not ever do this under any circumstance. Get a new battery...
That's not a solution. That's Dangerous basically you are keeping time bomb in your hand and pocket. And in last he says don't try this at home so what's the use of this video
i tried it at my home and the Battery was Exploed and huge fire on it . Luckyly it was in common room and no fire accident happend . so do not try this .
Seriously i don't believe it🤣u should've make a vdo
I just tried it. The whole entire battery blew up on my table and landed on the floor where it was on fire and doesn't put out easily when you step on it. If it would have been inside the phone? It would have destroyed the whole phone. Don't even play with the battery just throw it in the trash and get it outside of your house immediately. I got myself a nice chemical burn on my hand as well.
Sed man
Agree
Don't use a metal object to pierce it, use a lemon tree thorn, it'll make a teeny tiny hole.
This is a "tech tip?" You repaired nothing. All you did was treat the symptom of a failing battery. It's still going to have problems holding a charge, and on top of that you are risking a fire in your pocket. Does that sound like a "lose lose" situation to you? It should.
It fixed my battery without any problem. My phone is charging!!!! One just has to carefully follow the instructions.
This is DANGEROUS! The chemicals reacted, you can’t charge a swollen battery! This can KILL!
i put them on outside dustbin and it disappears itself
How please tell me
Someone picked up her batteries to "fix" them and sell them on eBay as"reconditioned" batteries 😉
i like this channel indian with english is rare
I think he is from Bangladesh !
hi, isn't it more secure to drain all charge in the battery before this process, thanks for the video
For sure.
Thx it work but you need to be very carefull with it
⚠️(Dangerous Warning!!!) Fixing buldged up batteries is for Adults only and they need to wear goggles, respirator M3 mask and thick safety gloves, because the battery has concrete metal that can catch on fire if the terminals are touched by metal objects and it is dangerous. Also please make sure you are at outdoors or an well big ventilated open area room because it is a lot safer and better to do it as well.🔥🥼👓🥽🎧🧤🧯
Do you know what happens if you inhale the gas from a swollen lithium ion battery?
I accidentally inhaled a bit and I'm worried.
@@AK961.1 Are you alive?
@@TheSoulja99boy welp, i guess he's not
DONT FUCKING DO THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Forget the vapor, the battery itself could explode after this "fix"
Can we charge the battery after taking out the gas from it?
tutorials like this should be banned
It literally has a battery removal tab, just get rid of the battery and get a new one
dear sir mere mobile me only dual SIM slot h
Koi upay h triple slot banane k
Nop hardware not supported
lol what😂
Thats Basically a Bomb i Reccomend you replace the battery dont be lazy i know you tried but its A Weapon after you fix the Swollen Battery DO NOT TAKE HIS ADVICE THIS IS A WEAPON
Il buy a new battery instead doing this, looks kinda dangerous
Nice! The battery can be put back into my phone again. Otherwise the back cover is always cracked open a bit.
Thanks, I will make sure to do this in a airport with a dirty nail
Update: did it and now I'm in prison so I have to use a smuggled phone to comment this
How many of you dead after doing this, pls comment. If noone comment i think its safe
as long you puncture the membrane and not the inside it will work perfectly
i did it because my back case getting bend and your battery capacity will still be same and not fixed
Everyone that watches this video will die.
The ION are bricking upon their self the battery as exceeded its use the reason why its swollen is because the ION have bricked and the flow of new electricity being introduce has to find the room in the Battey causing it to expand This can happen due to a lot of factors. NEVER PUNCHURE ANY BATTERY its not a good move it will NOT FIX YOUR ISSUE IF YOU HAVE A SWOLLEN BATTERY REACH OUT TO A LOCAL TECHNICIAN TO HAVE IT SERVICED , Swollen batteries are NOT a Safety Concern THEY DO NOT BLOW UP UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, How ever poking holes in any lithium ion product is a potential health hazard. lithium ion batteries are considered a consumable product MEANING WE DO EXPECT THEM TO FAIL (BE CONSUMED)
After doing this just keep your phone in an empty coffee can far from your bed. You'll be fine.
So the youtuber guy liked a comment of someone who encouraged ppl to try this. I thought the title was "Don't try this at home?"
Thanks. My HP spectre has 6 battery cells and 4 of them were swollen and the casing was bending badly. I did this method with 4 of the swollen cells and my laptop casing is back to normal. I sealed the cells with glue and black tape and I'm not charging it more than 90% for now but everything seems to be working fine.
So will it have battery life after I do this?
The cello tape will burn when the phone heats up and then will explode
Lmao puncturing a swolen pouch cell. DONT DO THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET YOUR HOME TO GO UP IN FIRE.
I made a small tiny hole on the battery but i'm scared to charge it
take the battery to a store and buy a new battery, that battery is telling you it reaching its end, and you just made the possibility of exploding increase.
Don't do this. Seriously this is horrible advice.
this is dangerous
Thank you.
use a long very long stick to puncture the battery
Instructions unclear; accidentally burned my friend's house down...
Edit: I'm in jail now...
But how can you comment on youtube🤔🤔🤔
@@iPhone7_Official they give us internet access for 30 minutes a day. I should be getting out in a few days.
@@TheeDoomguy how many to be exacy
Exact
@@iPhone7_Official 5-6 days
I have tried this with iphone 4 and it got fire 🔥🔥🔥
Idiots do things. I love this series!
monkey vs hightech device. those kind of fixes must be banned because some kids can reproduce this actions
will puff up again, decay of chemicals is not reversible with degassing. Just a palliative measure, not a fix.
You are 100% right
Is that safe?
Update after 2 years, please? Are you still alive after using the phone?
He's still posting
ey bro, my phone with swollen battery, sunddenly have sounds like gas leaking if turned on, then I notice, the battery swell decreases, now I'm aftaid it might explode if charged,
Can you guys comment on this?
Just a guess, but sounds like you have a leak in your battery. Though I would normally do the fix in the video, if you cannot find the leak and seal it, might be best if you replace your battery. I get the general idea this is not nearly as dangerous as people think, so I wont tell you not to use your phone in the state it is in, but not sure you should use it either.
Thanks for the video. Do you have to seal the battery to use it?
I think ye so the gas wont come out
What if the solutape is not placed
Will the phone explode if its battery swells?

it is a possibility.
