Just a heads up,
A few days ago my Tesco Hudl 2 battery decided to expand it's waistline
and pushed the LCD screen outside the confines of the case. I've now
taken it to bits and am awaiting an eBay 'new-old stock' battery to fit
in replacement.
In my view these things may go a bit mental if
1) kept on charge 24/7 and little used
2) it's hot
3) someone (kids) start mishandling such a damaged item.
Same thing happened recently to an old Sony Erricsson phone, I placed it
on charge and then found I couldn't slide the battery out.

They may be connected to the PSU 24/7, but the charge controller will

Yes unfortunately this is what many battery types end life experience is,
sadly. Of course if you want a bit of fun then rig up a remote controlled
nail gun and fire a nail through the battery in an open space.

Or, as in the case of my Kobo Touch eReader, if left in a drawer and

not used at all for a couple of years ... as I discovered when I wanted
to take it on holiday :-(
Fortunately, I was able to source a new battery with the correct
connections, and the reader is working as happily as ever.
Unfortunately, the replacement didn't arrive until after I'd left for
the holiday ... but I ended up not having time/energy to read the dead
trees I'd taken with me anyway.
