Swelling in Li-Ion and LiPo batteries is caused by:

  • Overcharging
  • Fast discharging
  • Blunt damage to battery
  • High or Low temperatures

Avoiding Swelling

  1. Keep battery temperature within 32 and 95
  2. Keep battery charged around 70-80%
  3. Never let battery drain to 0%

Damage

Rupturing lithium batteries will cause toxic chemicals and combustions.
