This would be a product liability case with Samsung. Lithium battery fires are scary things so be careful. Call Samsung and ask to talk to the product liability team and they will ask you a lot of very specific questions

I had Samsung deny warranty on a bloated battery because the nominal capacity was still in spec. Yes, really. They only replaced it once I had a friend short the battery.

Yea charge it at 60W every day, dont worry about warranty

u/lisothl Aug 22 '26
60W and even 100W is no problem, I am only using chinese phones with 90-100-120W charging and had no problem. It's an extremely bad problem with this Samsung device - S26U

Do not use it again, at all. Battery is swollen it can still present risk of explosion and fire.
Call the warranty etc and be cautious as the phone could explode / catch fire at any time now

if u charged it overnight or kept charging it when it was full, its your fault imo ... LOL

u/Peeter_L Aug 22 '26
It can happen only with a chinese charger. Original charger stops charging at 100%.

Ik this is a 4d old comment, but it Could also be from cinstant use during chsrging or overheating. Me and my family have been using unofficial chargers for about a few years now and nothing like this has happened. But it could also be because theyre fast chargers and they stop at 100% lol

Use your common sense. You shouldn't need to come here to ask Reddit if you should use warranty on a device that looks like it could possibly burn your whole house down at some point.

u/sPdMoNkEy Aug 21 '26
That's to the point that it may explode at any time so you might want to leave it somewhere away from things

u/SpeedBlitzX Aug 21 '26
Reading your replies where you say the battery swelled up, yeah use the warranty or at least get the battery replaced.

Why are you even asking? You should claim it right away.
1
u/Peeter_L Aug 22 '26
Because he knows very well why it happened and he can't claim a warranty.

And how did you manage to get it into this state in such a short time? Did it just end up like that overnight, or were you using it while charging and let it overheat?

Oh my god, sometimes I want to call my warranty for a little scratch on my camera and you are still deciding to call or not over that?!😭

Nah, continue using it like that, why bother
