@VoxSomniator oh dear. is that a battery?
@Felthry It *was*. Extended phone battery upgrade that went funky a little while ago, just now it started sizzling in the box so I quickly moved it outside where it's less flammable. I contacted customer support like "yo is my phone supposed to do this"
@VoxSomniator welllll, it'll probably still sooort of act like a battery? at least until the magic smoke escapes
@Felthry The worst part is, I can't even wedge it into the phone case any more! Never mind the loud fuming, I'm sure it's supposed to sound like bees
@VoxSomniator That does look like a very large phone battery anyway, even if it wasn't bulging
@Felthry Comes with a bigger case. Turns the thin phone into a brick. I kinda like it, makes it feel more solid!
@VoxSomniator personally, I use an otterbox because i am paranoid about damaging the phone, and i carry around a 13 Ah usb battery pack
@Felthry Ohh, cool! I got a little power bank thing but I mostly just use it as a flashlight :B
@VoxSomniator You can get ones that are even quick-charge compatible from Anker. I recommend it!
@Felthry Wow, these are cool!
Time to fill my purse with five pounds of battery, it's very on-brand for me
@VoxSomniator unfortunately their USB-PD and Qualcomm QC compatible ones are significantly more expensive :<
@VoxSomniator how does that _fit_
