In this video we will be having a closer look at the swollen battery problem of Samsung phones. Of course we could always replace such a battery but that is maybe only a short time solution. Instead I want to get rid of the battery and use my phone with just a power supply since I no longer need it for mobile usage. In such a case the phone can still be useful for various applications which I will show you in the video? So can we power a phone without its battery? Let's find out!
