7 \$\begingroup\$ When I use a GoPro, batteries sometimes expand, I believe due to overheating, which is an issue as they can get stuck in the GoPro. Is it possible to shrink back a GoPro battery? Or shall I just toss away the GoPro batteries that have expanded too much? Example of a bloated battery (left battery is ok, right battery is bloated): (that looks like a small bloating but it's enough to get stuck in the GoPro) batterygoproheat Share Improve this question Follow edited yesterday Franck Dernoncourt asked yesterday Franck DernoncourtFranck Dernoncourt 36122 gold badges77 silver badges2020 bronze badges \$\endgroup\$ 5 6 \$\begingroup\$ ufinebattery.com/blog/… \$\endgroup\$ – xenoid Commented yesterday 1 \$\begingroup\$ "Is it a good idea to put a potential explosive next to my head?" \$\endgroup\$ – Valorum Commented 21 hours ago 1 \$\begingroup\$ @Valorum "When I see two identical objects, I like to juggle them." \$\endgroup\$ – Franck Dernoncourt Commented 20 hours ago 4 \$\begingroup\$ Hydraulic Press Channel \$\endgroup\$ – pipe Commented 20 hours ago 3 \$\begingroup\$ Bloating means the battery is dangerously failing. If they do this a lot, make sure you aren't overcharging them / overdraining them / overheating them. A properly maintained battery should not do this during its normal service life. \$\endgroup\$ – Glenn Willen Commented 19 hours ago Add a comment  |
