my case was always opening

I did quite a heavy bend on it

But not due to battery

the space where the voume control it it has bended somewhat outwards

The volume control is on the other side

My battery was bloating a lot when I replaced it

But it was probably due to air pressure. I bought it 2016 in Kaohsiung, 3m above sea level, stayed there for 2 months and then took it to Switzerland at 600 meter above sea level

And that's exactly when it started bloating

So I think something must have damaged it either because of the flight or because of the altitude difference

Because I had the same problem with a chink drone 2 years ago

Took it from Taiwan and the battery started bloating after a while that I was here. But when I was in Taiwan, all was good

I had a HTC and Xiaomi phone with me

I live in a country where I took my phone up form the sea to a big mountain here

like 1400m above sea to climb

I also have been in about 6 flights +++ with them

damn these chink brands are copying samsung

Nothing happened to batteries, besides, cabins are pressurized. and even when driving a car up and down steep hills which happen often here you can feel pressure in your ears

Well obviously it doesn't happen on all devices but just defective ones

I had >20 flights with my mi mix 2, too

Hmm yeah

or just higher quality battery used on the mix

I think the bending was due to the actualy bending

because my battery has good performance so it cant have changed

I wish I could still take out batteries and perform the bulge test by spinning it on a table

but the whole shit probably glued

I had a chink power bank breaking at the airport once and nobody knew how to react

>tfw airports never complained as I carreid around my 20k mAh Xiaomi power bank on all my plane trips

"please don't throw it into normal trash sir" - "oh OK, can I give it to you?" - "no" - "oh should I just take it into the plane then?" - "NO"

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

what do

Juices were running out of the power bank

would take into plane 9/11 times (I know im bad)

Well this is the problem

There is no disposal for special garbage there

What can you actually do

youd think the airport has some way to destroy stuff, as toll customs usually have to do that. but that may be seperate

@Dietrich there would be a problem if you had it inside your luggage, though

nah

yes lol

once you are inside the airport security
