Removing Dints From Phone Battery

[matthewholdsworth]

was wondering if its possible to do this.

u know the problem, phone in pocket while riding, hit stem or fall off etc, small dent in battery.

i sold me last phone on ebay for a good price and want to do the same with this one but its got a phew problem dints. aside from buying a new battery is it possible to smooth em out? probably not, heating wont work because its a battery, well i think not anyway.

in the words of all good exam papers...............discuss

Cheers guys

It's called buy a new battery, or sell it with a dented one.

Is it a lithium battery? If it is a recent phone it almost certainly will be.

In my other hobby, rc helicopters, lithium batterys are commonly used,

and i have heared many stories of damaged lithium batterys exploding,

one person i know had his shed burned down by one!

You could try it, but when it is charging watch to see if it starts to swell,

if it does run! ( and unplug the charger... )

I thought phones had covers over the battery normally, not batteries which are part of the case... I would suggest there is no way to remove the dints, just sell it damaged or replace it with a new battery...

What phone is it anyway?
