In having a clearout of a miniscule proportion of the accumulated junk
here, I've found a mobile phone of unknown Chinese origin, badged Swees
X538.

On looking at why the back had popped off, I found the battery had
expanded and looked about to burst. I've put it on an old workmate in
the garden.

Swees appears to be a Chinese/English importer of clothing and phones
based somewhere in Kent.
There are no markings on the battery except the generic Chinese numbers
that seem to apply to all batteries of its generation.

Is there anywhere that stocks loads of batteries where I might be able
to match it for size?

The phone seemed to work fine with the battery in and a charger plugged
in, but not on battery. Would it be too much of a chance to try it on
just the charger with no battery? Has anyone ever tried using the wrong
battery with padding round it to make it fit a bigger hole in a phone?
The contact spacings seem similar on most of these, and we have a
daughter who often suddenly needs a new phone and leaves her broken one
here c/w battery.
