you could but you gotta know the battery isn't punctured or bloating. other than that ive found it completely fine just as long as you have the gun at low temperatures. i will agree that the good ol alcohol and patience works just fine and i guess it is the 'safer' way to work with batteries but whatever works best for us right? i will say some of these devices have some pretty damn good adhesive so whatever you do, its still pretty damn tedious sometimes.

Thermal runaway often occurs at high temperatures as they can trigger exothermic reactions in the battery. As the reactions produce more heat and increase battery temperature (with say, a heat gun), it can lead to the destruction of the battery, as well as workplace fires and explosions. TL-DR: Heat + Battery = fire. Use rubbing alcohol.
@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris9 ай бұрын
Don't think he cares about that since he is getting that battery out anyways. No point on caring for the battery's life. If it does catches up in flames he could take it out easier and just throw it to the side. (for explosions, that is why we have safety goggles) Also how do you reach it with alcohol? Everyone talks about using this but doesn't explain on how to do it. In other words you can't just put alcohol on the adhesive when you can't even reach it.

This. The Gameboy SP just requires one screw to be removed and the battery is easy to swap. I think the same may be true for the Wii U Gamepad. What was Nintendo thinking when they made the decision to glue the battery in place?! Not to mention the hassle it is just to get to the battery (especially on the regular switch). As much as I love Nintendo, I think something needs to be said about this. They’ve got such a huge fan base who will continue to collect their consoles for years, and the thought that years from now, Switches will slowly become unusable unless you go through this painful process to replace the battery is just such a huge shame. I really wish they would have thought it through more. Some simple foam would have been more than sufficient.
