Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and an electronic device for detecting a battery swelling. The device may include: a housing including a front plate, and a back plate facing away from and spaced from the front plate; a battery including a first surface facing the front plate and a second surface facing the back plate; a first layer including a conductive pattern parallel to the back plate, wherein at least a portion of the conductive pattern is interposed between the second surface of the battery and the back plate and a circuit electrically connected to a first point and a second point of the conductive pattern, and configured to transmit a signal to the first point and receive the signal from the second point; and further configured to: detect a phase difference between the transmitted signal and the received signal, and determine whether the battery is swollen based on the phase difference. The present disclosure may further include various other embodiments.
