Lipo battery swelling is a common problem of lithium battery. The safety risk of lipo battery swelling is large because the electrolyte of the lithium battery is toxic and corrosive and swelled lithium polymer battery is easy to explore and cause fire.
Lipo battery swelling is a common problem of lithium battery. The safety risk of lipo battery swelling is large. It’s easy to cause explosion. So, what is the reason for the lipo battery swelling? Overcharge, overdischarge and rough manufacturing process will cause lipo battery swelling.

Due to the problem of swelling, lithium battery is easy to cause the problem of leakage and charging. After the lithium battery swelling, it is easy to lead to lithium battery leakage. The lipo battery swelling leads to the failure of the sealing of the battery package so that the battery sealing is abnormal is abnormal. There will be small gaps invisible to the naked eye. When using the battery, the water in air enters the battery, resulting in the increase of the internal pressure of the battery. Finally the electrolyte is squeezed out by pressure. Lithium battery leakage often leads to lithium batteries not work, and even short circuit and deformation, which has a great impact on the safe use of lithium batteries. Lithium batteries swelling or liquid leakage need to be disposed.
How to correctly deal with swelled or leaking lithium batteries?
The electrolyte of the lithium battery is toxic and corrosive, and personal disposal is not recommended. The leaking lithium battery should be sent to a special recycling station for treatment. For the lithium battery that has been swollen, it has safety risks and needs to be discarded. The lithium battery swelling needs to be professionally recycled to avoid environmental pollution.
If necessary, you need to handle the swelled lithium battery by yourself, there are the following suggestions you can do step by step:
1.Cover the lithium battery with sand or other things that can isolate the air to avoid contact between the lithium battery and oxygen, so as to avoid the fire caused by the lithium battery fire and explosion.
2.Use low-power electronic components to consume battery power until the battery is completely depleted. Then cut the connector, and connect the battery's positive and negative wires to cause a short circuit to prevent the voltage from rising.
3.Put the lithium batteries in a sorted trash can.
