I saw a video where someone used a guitar pick as the plastic opening tool, seems safer to me. And that person also had a great idea to shove a pencil in the battery bay to apply a separating force, so that as you work the seam with a guitar pick, the the two halves will naturally want to separate.

Hi, I have two LG G5 phone. Let’s call them

A & B.

So , B overheats and the battery last less than an hour. So I took the battery from A and I put it in B and I put the B battery in the A. Results: B still overheats and not the A ??? I also left the connector blocks on the batteries when I did the switching. So what could be the cause of this?
