Q & A

What can happen if you leave old batteries in a handheld gaming device?

The batteries can leak, swell up, or even explode inside the device due to built up gases over time, damaging the internal components.

Why do batteries leak or explode in old devices?

When batteries are left discharged in a device for a long time, chemical reactions inside the battery produce gases that build up pressure, causing the battery to swell and eventually rupture.

How can you tell if a battery is swollen or leaking?

Signs include the battery looking puffed up or swollen, leaks around the battery compartment, stains on the device, bumps in the casing, or the device not turning on properly.

What should you do if you find a swollen or leaking battery?

Do not try to use the device. Carefully remove the battery and dispose of it properly. Clean any battery acid leaks gently with a cotton swab and vinegar.

How can you prevent battery leaks in stored devices?

Store devices with rechargeable batteries partially charged. Remove disposable batteries from devices before storing them long term.

How often should you check on old handheld gaming devices?

It's recommended to check stored gaming devices with internal batteries at least once a year to ensure the batteries are still in good condition.
