Hi.
I have an android cell and a 4G Internet device that use li-po batteries. I bought both devices in March 2014 but there are constant problems with the batteries. They keep swelling. I've gone through 3 batteries on my cell and I noticed a few days ago that the battery on Internet device has started making cracks on the shell (I've stopped using it now). It wasn't until a few months ago that I figured out what I'm pretty sure is causing this when I held it and the device was very cold to the touch. My place is suffering a serious lack of isolation in the walls and no windows, so in the summer it gets quite warm and in the winter it gets very cold (in the winter sodas are colder when kept on the floor than in the fridge ). I started putting it inside my warm clothing in the winter (the problem causes serious lack of performance on the devices) and it started working again. It's a bit more difficult in the summer, but I have started putting them in the freezer, for a few minutes, from time to time and it starts working again for a little while.
I have a couple of questions if anybody can help.
Could my guess be accurate as to what is causing this, (my dad says it can not be because they're supposed to work just fine up to 40-50*C and it is definitely not that hot in my place, although it might go up to 35)
And the second one is if that really is the cause, is there anything I can do to avoid the devices getting too hot and cold?
