Why Does the Battery Swell?

Battery Why Does It Swell? Generally, a swollen battery happens when its cells become overcharged and overheated. This reaction produces heat, which heats the gases inside the battery and causes them to expand. Without any means of ventilation, the battery's casing expands with gases and the battery swells.

When the separator is broken or punctured, it causes an intercell short circuit, which initiates a process called thermal runaway. The chemicals inside the battery begin to heat up, causing further deterioration of the separator. The battery can reach critical temperatures. At this point, the flammable electrolyte may ignite or even explode when exposed to oxygen in the air. It can also cause some damage other than explosion.
