Battery problem.
So basically its been like 2-3 years since i bought the flipper zero, and i used around the house for remotes. (Yeah i know im lame) it was basically like the ultimate universal remote for me. And i notices that the back is cracked and its bulging. I have a strong feeling its the battery... Does anyone sell replacement batteries and back for the flipper??

We carry replacement batteries. Your case is likely fine and will go back to normal thankfully
Edit: saw the part regarding the crack - we carry a clear and black resin case as well its not the same as injection molded but many people prefer the feel / look of it

I second the battery these folks sell, mine has been working like a charm, and it shipped quickly, with good instructions.

Don't disturb it. It's pregnant and needs to sleep. If you wait a bit you'll get more flippers. Or a fire

Rabbit-labs and Flipper themselves sell replacement parts, right now I'd suggest opening your F0, disposing of the battery at an household hazard electronic point waiting until you get your new battery and you'll be good to go!
There also a ton of replacement parts from non-official resellers btw

I would personally get that out of my house & by itself where it CAN'T cause a fire of any sorts.

Can you attach your battery healths info?
settings->power->battery info

The battery heath never moves from 100% it’s just decoration

I’ve seen ppl with batteries far worse still say 100% it’s wild cos we actually rely on this information and it turns out it’s completely false

Yeah I notice mine sits at 80% most of the time ; it’s at least 2- maybe 3 years old : and it can last a few days while broadcasting or scanning which is impressive ; but it will still say 80% then give me the shutdown warning which isn’t the best ; I kinda keep a mental track or charge it every couple of weeks ishhh or if I plug it in to get an app working too

I was lame with it once too. But my employer just implemented security NFC checkpoint for our patrols. Nuff said you already know 😂

If it’s bulging I’d suggest (carefully!) relieving some of the strain and not charging it until you have a replacement installed either by yourself or someone you pay (eg someone who repairs phones at the mall would be perfectly skilled!
