Somewhere out there, at my old job, there's a cardboard box with a few puffy laptop batteries in it. I have no idea where it went 🙃

This is why i prefer rechargeable AAA cells. Just take them out. But built-in akku? Either store it fully charged and risk a fire. Or discharge it and you need to take the device appart, before you can use it again, because akku dead.

There really should be a flat akku cell standard though.

I recently found my now-recalled Anker battery pack in a box... in my sweltering attic. I'm lucky it didn't burst into flames and burn my house down. It isn't visibly swollen, but it claims to have a 100% charge which I don't think is possible (it's been up there for at least 4 years).

For further context, in the summer, my attic can get up to around 130°.

I have no idea why my phone uploaded that picture with potato quality...

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Maybe a battery issue?

[–] henfredemars 9 points 2 days ago

Quality looks great to me.
