Hello everyone, I would like to know when I need to worry about smartphone batteries. I heard that they can produce HF as well as perhaps other toxic substances?

As far as I am aware most smartphone batteries are Li-Ion or LiPo batteries, do these batteries only produce HF and other toxic substances when they catch fire or are there other circumstances where they could release toxic substances?

I have noticed with a lot of phones I own, (even brand new ones) there is a faint smell you can smell if you put your nose right near where you open the SIM tray. I am not sure if this is the battery or the adhesive to hold the phone together? The batteries otherwise perform perfectly, they easily last a full day, don't get hot, don't experience random percentage drops, no swelling or any other symptoms.

Should I be worried about the smell or not? How do I know if my batteries are releasing any toxic substances if there are no other symptoms of a bad battery?

I have health anxiety so this is something I struggle with a lot and can't seem to find definitive answers online and I know I shouldn't trust AI answers either so that's why I asked here.

Thank you for any help!
