The battery swelling seems to affect one side more than the other. It seems to be swelled…

Hi everyone, In the past week, I wanted to play with my Nintendo 3DS XL, which I’ve had since launch day.

I’ve had swollen batteries on my old phones and had to change them maybe once per year. Some batteries were not that swollen while others were more noticeable. Now,…
