Old battery scares me more than being in Iraq. There’s a sickly sweet smell coming from it. Tried to seal it away in the replacement box and a bag. I really want to call the fire department for real.
What else can I do? How long do these things de-gas for? I’ve never seen a battery do this with out igniting.
Yes I tried the pull tabs they failed because of the battery damaging itself way before I opened the phone. (Apparently years ago.)
Yes I used 99% IPA to breakdown the glue strips.
No the battery is not becoming a spicy pillow.
No the battery is not warm to touch with or with out gloves.
