I bought the oraimo power bank sometime last year, and after I used it for a couple of months, the battery started swelling up but did not reduce its performance.

So I kept using it that way since it was still charging my phone. But now, it has swollen to the point that the plastic cover has started to break. 

I am scared that the way it is going, it might explode and cause damage to me.
Please tell me what the risk is if I continue to use the battery like this.

NB: The power bank is still working just like a new power bank.

Please mod help me move it to front page

No effect on your phone other than the powerbank may explode while charging the powerbank, especially overcharging it.
(the possibility is low, but it is there)

Just avoid charging the powerbank full, to reduce the chances.

I once used my swollen Romoss powerbank for 4 months, then i opened the powerbank and carefully used pin to pierce the outer casing of the lithium battery to remove the trapped gas, then taped the tiny hole(Very risky procedure, dont try it unless you know what you are doing)

After the procedure, I used it for like extra 8 months before the battery started swelling again with a reduced battery life.
At that point i had to throw it away.


Right now, the only powerbank i can recommend is REDMI.

Thank you

My Oraimo power bank is also pregnant, about two months pregnant now so the belle never show like your own. This is something I use like once in 4 months and the power bank is barely two years old.

Is REDMI better than Romoss..?

But people say Romoss power bank is the best 🤷🏾‍♂️

I think it's very unwise to continue using it. I have been using Newage for almost two years without issue after the Oraimo I used for less than a year got pregnant.

Lol. Same thing with my Oraimo Power bank. I have stopped bringing it closer to me while charging make e no go blow for my face while charging

Easybet1:

Yes, that is the type I am using now.

Well, my original Romoss powerbank got swollen after a while, so can't recommend it.

You don't need someone to tell you how dangerous That is.

What is happening to your powerbank is what we call thermal runaway caused by heat building up in the powerbank, avoid charging it full and avoid letting it heat

Why are all these oraimo powerbanks doing like this?

Has any one given birth yet
Maybe na Baby power bank them wan born , since all of dem dey get Belle up and dawn

My Oriamo power bank is pregnant too just like the one Op posted. I just leave am there charging it once in awhile

I’ve been using the same PB since May last year. Don’t know why yours got swollen.

If it’s a thing with Oraimo products, they need to step up their game

luvyaself95:

mine was 20kmah, got swollen maybe due to constant fall from every Tom, dick and Harry that uses it.

my question is, who is getting all these oraimo powerbanks pregnant?

To be best of my knowledge
They are copy of these power bank out there
Make sure the oraimo you are buying have the warranty sealed unbroken
That’s the best assurance
The copy ones just have the normal box and once you open it
That’s it,no seal. Nothing
I sell Powerbanks so I know they are fake out there that’s why I get mine from their office and it comes with the original invoice
