So at the beginning of summer I repurposed an old Android phone into a dedicated emulator. The phone’s old enough it has an honest to god user replaceable battery so I decided to get another one and keep it in my backpack to double my gaming time....
I don’t have a voltmeter on hand, but the battery is not puffed out at all. The positive and negative terminals did have some blue gunk form on them for the first few days I had it drying out though, like I said.
Well, I have the battery in the phone right now and I’m attempting to charge it since it didn’t seem to have any juice left and it’s acting a bit weird.
First, the phone’s charging LED blinks, then the screen shows the battery charging screen for a split second, then the first frame of the boot sequence pops up briefly, then it goes back to black and the charging LED flashes briefly again, rinse and repeat.
I assume it’s not looking good for the battery. I’ll give it a moment and see if it holds a charge
I have a spare lithium phone battery that got wet a couple months back- will it go boom if I try to use or charge it?
