Swollen battery. Any ideas on how I can remove it from the case without bursting it? It looks like it's glued to the case.AdolphFTW t1_j6a2z4c wrote
Just got a keeb with a battery in it and I want to ask how long did it take for yours to get swollen. Im really concerned that I wont notice it, because I have modded mine.

It took about 2 years. The battery was actually very swollen that it was pushing down on the case and the bottom was no longer flat. That's how I knew what was happening.

at least it made it sound less hollow

Heck, I have a stock keeb I haven't modded at all, and I'm sure I wouldn't notice if the battery started swelling

Guess I gotta open it up ever couple of months. Just to be sure it aint going to explode on me lol

This is funny to me considering most companies don’t want us opening our purchased products in order to fix them.. so what are we supposed to do? Most casual consumers don’t get the itch like we do to open it up to see what’s inside.. are they supposed to be at risk of the battery bursting?
It’s great how there are people fighting for “right to repair” tho (:

Well, if we abide by the companies logic we should be buying their products again and again, whenever we have issues with their product. So, yeah Im going to advocate my right to repair.

As far as I know, your battery should be good for at least 3-4 years of normal use, so you probably don't have to worry about it for a while

I hope you are right. I dont want a fire hazard on my desk lol.

The risk is about the same as the other rechargeable batteries in your phone, laptop, etc. Not saying that to make you worry about those things more, but hopefully worry about this less

Im still considering to put EVA foam on top of it. Every youtuber does it and I dont think normal charging cant generate enough heat to become a problem.

I have a k4v2 I got 2 years ago and I opened mine recently and the battery wasn't swollen at all, so your mileage may vary
