And of course, a single person's experience proves nothing either way when answering a question such as this.

I am not sure which was the real cause in the Samsung incident, but it happene inspite of using Lithium batteries, not because of (with your iPods I mean), so there was a manufacturing flaw somewhere.

I had them both plugged up most of the time and the tech said that it was me keeping the device plugged up all the time that was the problem. Why else would the battery swell on two different generations of iPods? What else could have caused it if not keeping them plugged up? The 6th generation was fairly new. I wanted to get them both fixed, but just the one cost me $150 to get repaired. -----Original Message----- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, January 12, 2018 4:06 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Harming battery if left on a charger all the time My laptop is always plugged in since I rarely use it away from the house and the same was true with my previousl laptop and even after over 5 years it still holds a decent charge when I do unplug it. As other said, modern batteries can handle this easily and the problem with the battery that swelled surely was a different issue and would eventually have happened regardless. After all look at the Note 7 disaster where devices which weren't even plugged in at all burst into flames.
