I think it's knackered!

We have WiFi radios at work from Vocera. They run on 1S LiIon packs, and like laptops, the batteries get hammered. This one is 4 years old, drained flat every day then left to charge every night. I'm not suprised it's like a balloon! It's actually burst out of the plastic case.

Now, if I put a screw driver through it, will it go up like a LiPo? :D

I should send it back with a stiff letter saying how disgusted you are that i could only take 4 years of abuse lol

4 years of daily over charging and discharging would destroy any battery lol

Did nothing, stabbed it a few times and got a few sparks, even pouring water over it got only a tiny bit of smoke. Boring!
