Now I get to try the iFixit kit. First time I’ll be fighting a glued battery. Can’t wait.

But you have to admit the smell is nice. Not the burning one, just the expanded batteries. They always have a sweet smell that you can sometimes even smell through the gaps on the outside of a device when they are expanding. Always makes me think they smell like radiator fluid should taste like. Both of which should be kept away from dogs and such just because of that. I remember years ago one place I worked they kept all the expanded batteries in a closed container and we would stack them all there until taken for disposal. If you opened the container anyone within a 10ft radius could immediately smell them.
