Does it matter if the old battery in an old phone gets worse?

I was under the impression long-term connection to power would lead to higher likelihood of battery swelling? But I don't know shit about batteries so I could easily be wrong.

I would prefer if I could power a device without needing a battery installed, but that design is rare these days.

Some phones should work without a battery installed. But with newer phones, removing the battery is not trivial. Maybe that will change in the coming years, let's see the EU push.

In any case, 10 % loss per year is way too high. I am currently at 4.7 % over the last 2 years with a phone from 3 years ago.
