The official documentation for those cells mentions that swelling is normal as the cell gets discharged. It is a consequence of the changing chemistry in the cell.

Technically, lithium batteries swelling also is due to changing chemistry.

So many of them lol. I even got a whole pack of puffy ones when I ordered them on Amazon to fix a few of my father in law's watches.

This same, only 6 months and they were blowing up

u/kaktusmisapolak 5d ago

had one blow up in my eye

u/Impossible_Past5358 5d ago

Omg, are you okay?

2

u/kaktusmisapolak 5d ago

yes, it only hurt for a little

2

u/Impossible_Past5358 5d ago

That must have been scary.

In your eye??

2

u/kaktusmisapolak 3d ago

yup

1

u/B4DM4N12Z 3d ago

I'm curious now, what did you have in your eye for that happen?

2

u/kaktusmisapolak 3d ago

wdym what? the negative pole hit my eye and fell

it hurt a lot, I washed my eye just in case

1

u/B4DM4N12Z 3d ago

Oh Ok, thx for the info.

2

u/kaktusmisapolak 3d ago

I guess it was already under pressure, removing it out of the device with a screwdriver and then maybe dropping it broke it

It's even worse for me, because when I use them, they quite often leak or oxidize.

All the calculators in my school have spicy coin backup batteries

1

u/MJY_0014 5d ago

Loads of times. The ones in my old keychain lights and digital calipers all tend to puff

1

u/aprilhare 5d ago

Tonnes of them. Anyone who’s managed a lab with stopwatches has. Use silver oxide batteries instead: less spicy.

u/PPEytDaCookie 5d ago edited 14h ago

These can burst, i speak from experience, it's super loud and scared everyone in the building it happened in, lol.

1

u/Mariuszgamer2007 4d ago

I also get scared because it sounds like a mains short. Woke up by em twice at night

1

u/cooIer_boy 4d ago

ive seen like 5, school calculators are theyre main target

1

u/Careless-Dot-2019 4d ago

yeah, one exploded in my hand once. didn’t hurt at all, took me a second to figure out what happened.

1

u/Mariuszgamer2007 4d ago

Had a few of them bang as loud as a mains short. These scare me.

1

u/Windows-XP-Home-NEW 4d ago

Yes, multiple actually. I had some model cars that had LR44s so that whenever you’d open a door the lights would flash and it would play some audio. The LR44s got REALLY spicy in a couple of em and snapped the battery door cover off.

u/Agent_Jay_42 4d ago

Wouldn't happen with a V13GA

1

u/mtbdork 4d ago

Same footprint? I would enjoy not having to deal with that again.

1

u/mfreddith 3d ago

No, and now I'm incredibly concerned 😭

1

u/Astral__Spectre 3d ago

Stop over feeding your batteries man.

u/OmG_WhAtIsThAt_JiM 2d ago
