My S21 ultra battery expanded

[Naeem Abram]

Can anyone help on what to do. My S21 battery expanded and now my phone look pregnant and won't work Galaxy S21 5G Galaxy S21 5G

I would switch the phone off - do NOT use it or try to recharge it and contact a local phone repair shop for advice. Not trying to be alarmist but swollen li- ion batteries can occasionally be prone to fire or explosion

[Glenntech]

Yes as above.
Stop using it straight away.
The battery has degraded to a point where it is potentially hazardous.
Needs a repair ASAP

The entire battery swelled to the point it caused the back of the phone to come off and deformed the phone and otterbox case it was in

Yeah sorry I'm not in the uk or Ireland

@Naeem Abram   In that case I would suggest contacting Samsung Support in your country or visit a Samsung service centre. Certainly do not attempt to use the phone.
