Handphone off for too long

  Over the years when I buy a new hp, I will keep my old HP. I did not trade them as the HP prices have droped alot and I rather keep them.

  I heard that if HP don't use for too long must take out the battery or else it will leak and cause a explosion. Is this true?

  I have about 5 HP at home which I don't use but every 1 or 2 months I will on it for about 15 minutes to check to see that it is still working and than off it afterwards. I do not take out the battery and I will charge it too if I see the battery is low.

  Is this dangerous?

  never use for ages, at most just recharge it as the power has been depleted (even though you never used it).
