I've done this stunt a couple times, it worked on one device and caused the battery to puff up badly in the other. Much better to do this via a lab power supply limited to a hundred or so milliamps, or fake one with a 5v USB supply and a 47ish ohm resistor in series... Monitor visually until at 3v or so, then charge using original device. Then keep the device in a fireproof area or bag until you get a new battery.

- stordoff 6y agoMy iPad's currently in a metal tin in the garage (concrete floor, well away from anything flammable) after I bent it a few days ago[1] until I can get it repaired. I suspect I'd know by now if the battery was damaged, but I don't really want to leave it in the house overnight. [1] Forgot it was there and put some stuff down on it - there's now about a 20° degree bend in the middle of the long side that goes about half way across the back. Somehow, the screen didn't break.
