Since beginning of 2023, we have been getting various calls from Pixel 6 customers saying that the screen has started to bulge out or the back panel has started to push outwards.
At ShatterFix, when we received first couple of devices, we could figure out all these Pixel 6 devices are suffering from swollen battery.
Unfortunately, in very few cases, the bulged swollen battery even caused damaged to the screen unit and also cracked the back glass.
Cause of battery swelling in Google Pixel 6
At this stage, we donot have any concrete reason for this issue. Normally, this happens over time due to chemical reaction in the battery. Even a minor flawed design issue in the device can also cause battery swelling. In some cases, bad practices like leaving device on charging overnight or using faulty charger might also cause overheating of the battery and thus swelling.
