Why did the new IFIXIT battery swell up in less than a year?
I ordered a replacement battery kit from IFIXIT for my iPhone 6S in April 2023. The installation went OK and the instructions were easy to follow. The phone had some use after the new battery was fitted, but recently has been mostly idle. It was left switched off for a while, then connected to power to re-charge. I now find that the battery has swelled a lot and is bending the screen outwards by about 5mm. Is is usual for the IFIXIT battery to fail so soon?
