Only batteries that do bad things. Like children! |

At hone it stays on the charger all the time, maybe several days. I have done this to a flip phone and 2 smart phones and so far no problems. With Li-Ion batteries there are no problems anyway and the rest is done by the electronics. Care free I would say. What "no problems"? Like the well-publicised fires, recalls etc? Airlines seem to care rather a lot... They don't. The real problem are the batteries of the ****ty B-787. |

That sounds like an ultra cheap non-device-manufacturer-standard replacement battery. |

They tell you to not leave it plugged in but I use it for internet access 24/7. One of our clients send in a laptop for testing with our products and included the same model. It arrived without the back cover because of the bulging. |

That sounds like an ultra cheap non-device-manufacturer-standard replacement battery. It was the original battery that came in a new iPhone. The phone was around a year old when the failure occurred. I replaced it with your well described ultra cheap (US$30 including tools) non-device-manufacturer-standard replacement battery. Fortunately that battery worked fine for the following year+ until the phone was finally replaced. |
