I thought about extracting the battery from it, saving and charging only the battery but I would need a device to charge the flat battery externally |

Get an idea of how much it is needed first before deciding. And should you come to the conclusion that it is necessary (to remove the battery), most likely, you don't even need to physically remove the battery, (That is: most likely, with the back cover or housing off, you have enough access to just unplug the battery from the phone while the battery is still glued to the phone.) -- By the way, leave the phone semi-disassembled. Whenever you need to recharge, re-plug the battery to the phone and you can recharge using the phone, then un-plug again. Don't forget to protect the exposed battery contacts to avoid shorting. You should first protect the battery electrical contacts with a small piece of plastic (cut a small piece from a plastic bag) to make a hood covering the electrical contacts first then tape over it so you do not leave tape-glue on the electrical contacts. Put the screws in a small zip lock bag (like the smallist 2"x2" ones) and tape it to the back of the phone cover or something, and keep the whole semi-disassembled phone (with screws and any removed parts) in a larger zip lock bag. EDIT: Above was reedited - it was poorly worded and hard to understand the first time around. --- Quote from: Rick Law on July 01, 2020, 11:34:53 pm ---... ... Lastly, a different suggestion: Leave the battery as is and just rely on phone-off, but check it regularly. - Find the app call "CPU-Z" that does phone diag. Use it to check the battery. - Take a screen print. Now store your phone with just power off and mark the calendar. - Check it every 6 months and monitor the progress. See what is the current battery health (good? fair? bad? whatever.) as well as the voltage. If the voltage is down to 3.0, time to give it a recharge. In a year, you can share that with us and we can all learn something as well. --- End quote --- |

Is it possible to keep a smartphone device stored in the long term, preventing the non-removable battery with flat cable from becoming swollen and leaking? |

Lets wrap this up. You should re-read all the replies by many of us thus far. |

I’ve seen devices that the battery has inflated or swollen and I wanted to avoid this by storing a smartphone in the box in the long term without the battery bulking and leaking or is that impossible? |
