    I have a Blackberry Curve 8520; I use a Blackberry charger model PS05r-050CHW, and two new batteries have swollen. Is it the wrong charger or is there some other possible problem?

    New batteries, as in you just recently got them?
    Are the OEM BlackBerry batteries?
    If yes to both, there might be an issue with the charger.
    See if you can charge the device OK via USB to a computer.

    If a battery swells, that means it's getting to hot. Which could be because of the charger. Ensure you are using the correct charger for the 8520.

    When ever you purchase something that isn't BlackBerry OEM, you run the risk of things not working. Sorry to hear about your issues. My best advise would be to ensure the charger you are using is the right one for the device

    Fire hazard warning!
    Please do not attempt to further charge or use the swollen batteries. Dispose of them immediately in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
