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

well depends on the airline

At the check in, there are disposal bins for power banks

But after that, nothing

nobody check ur luggage

>

🤔 what

That's because you don't look Arabic

so you can bring it with you

let me clarify, you can take it with you on hand luggage

I was almost arrested for a raspberry pi once
