With both phones after a few years of use the battery started expanding so that the front and back cases are no longer connected.
Are you leaving it plugged in most of the time?
Yes. Whenever I am home. Which is almost all the time.
You don't need to do that. Phones do try to intelligently manage battery capacity (this isnt the old days of NiCD batteries) but a LiIon battery continuously at 100% or 0% will not last as long as a battery that is held at 50%.
1) That does run a greater risk of getting to 0%?

2) My charger charges quite quickly. So each time I'd need to continually monitor it to unplug it once it hit 50% and turn the phone off? And, wait for it to turn back on again.

3) Is what I'm doing causing the batteries to expand?

Does any of the above apply to iPads? I have two that are iPad 1's. One was purchased in 2010 and the other in 2012. They have always both always been left plugged in at 100% and each still have excellent battery lives.
