If the Battery Bulges, Can It Continue to Be Used?

2022-03-10

In recent years, we often see some news about lithium battery explosion and fire, as well as the expansion of lithium polymer battery explosion occurred.  When in use, found that the lithium battery has appeared bulging. You should immediately stop using it. The expansion of the lithium battery, containing high-pressure combustible gas inside. If an accident occurs, it will be very dangerous. Do not puncture and deflate the lithium battery at this point either, as this will not improve it in any way. On the contrary, it will directly lead to scrap and more danger.


Li-ion battery bulging may also be due to overcharging, the chemical properties inside the battery have changed, resulting in gas production. Usually polymer soft pack battery overcharging will appear bulging phenomenon, and in the case of steel case, there is a possibility of explosion. So we must pay attention to the use of the original charger when using the charger in general. Do not use some inferior chargers. Poor quality chargers have a great impact on the battery. If you find that the lithium polymer battery has bulging phenomenon, you should stop using it immediately.


No matter what kind of battery, there is a risk of explosion. But the probability of lithium batteries is very small. However, once the explosion occurs, it will generate more energy. Although the current lithium battery has many built-in protection mechanisms, but for the safety of life, it is recommended not to use, immediately replace.
