The Novatel MiFis say to unplug them when they're fully charged. Of course 
nobody does so. The swollen batteries pop the back cover off so you see 
many of them with rubber bands or tape holding them together. 

I kept a spare or two on hand to replace them when they became too 
swollen. At first I was paranoid but nothing ever happened. 

My Nokia phone's battery also swelled enough to split the case. The phone 
wasn't designed to be serviceable and the repair looked so painful I 
bought a new phone. It still starts up.
