I think some devices can now be configured to just charge partially (or come that way by default and then tell you that the partial charge is 100%). So this may not be a an issue in all cases, but... I dedicated an Nvidia shield K1 to be a Sonos interface. Just mounted it to a monitor arm and left it plugged in for something like four years. The mount was this beefy metal thing, a little steel cage for the tablet, but as soon as I unscrewed it enough to remove the tablet from the mount the tablet undramatically exploded. It ballooned to a width that was thrice the original thickness of the tablet, pushed the plastic apart, and it was clear that the case was never going to come back together again. I was afraid to touch it, lest it rupture. It seems like it would only be a terrible idea beyond a certain scale. The pillowing battery is just assisted disassembly. And now it's easy to get the battery out.
