Hmmmm! If you bring it in, tell them it intermittently gets REALLY HOT and you're afraid the battery might explode.
:-)
Actually, I'd be afraid it might - you just don't want to short Li ion batteries, they can explode - and it seems something is intermittently shorting your iPhone's battery or subjecting it to a low ohm resistive short, such as a latched FET, transistor, integrated circuit, or conductive short to ground.
When the company I used to work for began testing Li ion batteries for space use, they did have explosions.
A fully-charged Li ion battery back then (the '90s) of about 2 D-cell size packs the explosive power of a hand grenade when shorted. The batteries these days pack even more power.
Don't forget the Sony batteries of a few years back that caused exploding laptops. Some of them had internal shorts and Sony had to redesign and recall the whole line.
On second thought, maybe you ought to bring it in to an Apple store - Apple has been through battery recalls before and will likely listen to you. iPhones should not short internally, ever! |
