Is this battery going to explode?

No. It just will last 5 seconds and you will cry a million tears when your computer dies while you are writing a paper.

Yes if the go over 3.72V then it will compromise the battery and it will explode or fail.

My battery swelled...it is quite a few years old...6 years...I never knew it was swollen until today when I went to charge it and no longer took a charge. But it did swell and now I don't know how to remove it since it no longer charges up and is now dead

I usually charge it about 4 hours and the battery will be hot to the touch. It should be good to go

I guess it depends on how much acid damage there is to the unit and how much is your own piece of mind worth. I would be more concerned with the "why" the battery split. That's not normal to my knowledge. Not sure throwing a new battery into the unit will solve the root problem.

The real answer: Nothing to worry about if the current draw of the device is less than the maximum output of the battery. However, if the current draw of the device is GREATER than the battery's maximum output current, you will possibly experience the battery overheating and/or experience a thermal runaway.

I have heard of people doing it with any charger, but it is dangerous and can easily cause a fire!! If you want to do it, do it outside in a safe place. You have to jolt it back to life with the NiMh or NiCd charge first, you have to get it above the dreaded 3amps. I have never done it but have friends who have, and yes they have burst one or two into flames!! I have also heard of them changing polarity, but have never seen that happen. I would highly recommend getting a laser temp gun to monitor the battery wile trying to get it back to 3amps. But like I said, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IT IS BEST NOT TO TRY IT!!

All four of my batteries became swollen after 2 1/2 years, some slightly, some noticeably. I disposed of all of them. Swollen batteries cannot be used as there is a risk of damaging the phone or in more serious cases, exploding.

It's my understanding from the manual that the battery is good for 20-25 minutes, so I'm not surprised that it might be intermittent after an hour. Of course, I only received part of the message from gramma above, so I don't know if I'm answering the right question.Also, our boat crashed and the wires caught fire, and it turned out that the battery (which packs quite a charge) mounting was not very well designed or made, and we made modifications to keep it in place better, so check that out.

No it won't ruin it. I have one in my hand held spotlight. They are sealed type batteries, and can be used in any postion, as long as it it's secured.

I would not advise this as batteries can leak or explode when not specifically made for recharging.

No it won't fry your battery ..it charges the battery good and there is a light on it that changes from red to blue when fully charged

The below answers are excellent. Make sure you buy a sealed battery because a non sealed battery can give off hydrogen gas while charging, which is explosive . I bought the recommended battery from the vendor which was pricy, but met all their specs.

I have had a bad experience with this battery it melted in my drill. I couldn't tell you why they send them. Possibly because it gets too hot. Who knows.

I would avoid this product altogether. Mine exploded on the first use. Its a very dangerous product and should be taken off the market asap.

sure it will pal, keep it in dry place...it works automatically... when battery is full charge it stops sending charge...when battery need charge it will auto start it will never burn or dry your battery

Dude just charge it until the meter reads full it will not hurt your batteries. Joe
