TL:DR - the Wii U Gamepad Battery might be bloated and can be posted at https://lemmy.world/c/spicypillows c/spicypillows
Shit
All Lithium batteries need monthly usage like checking the oil in your car. If these batteries are stored away for years the chemicals inside oxidate and expand, damaging the electronics inside. PSP battery turned into a pillow as well, and the joysticks become really sticky anyone else noticed old controller joysticks are sticky?
You guys check your oil? Isn’t that what the check engine light is for
/s
Definitely one I’m tell my friend who’s mechanic lol
I have an old Subaru that burns oil, and coincidentally the light comes on right around when I should be change the oil anyway
I hope the light is for oil level then, not oil pressure.
I hope so too lol. I do keep a spare quart of oil in the car just in case, I party like it’s 1979
Every refillable substance has to be in the trunk, otherwise I don’t feel well enough equipped
No, it’s what the gravy boat light is for
They do not need monthly usage, why should they? All you need to do is prevent a deep discharge (below 1V per cell). It depends entirely on the device if that happens after a week, a month or 5 years.
You didn’t prevent a deep discharge in your mom!
Hahahahhahhahahha hHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH okay I’ll go now
You’re right about charge % I forgot. I got it from a quick guide for large battery care. I’ve seen the ebike elevator accident, actually exploding batteries happen more frequent than I thought.
No, because I don’t have one
