Dynavox recalls T15 speech devices with batteries that may swell or separate after months of inactivity. Owners should check serial numbers for affected units.
The battery is integral to the device. If the device sits unused and is not charged for a lengthy period of time (a few months) the battery will go into a deep discharge state and the battery will expire. The battery may out-gas which may be described as swelled or puffed, as gas is trapped inside the pack surrounding the cells. This battery may cause the device case to separate a small amount.
