As the title says, I was wondering if there's any concerns regarding the battery life or fire hazard if I cover the battery with foam? Should I cut the foam to fit around the battery? I've seen people do both online.

I have some denser, rubber like foam as well as a more fluffy one, looking for deeper sound. TIA!

Wow, thanks for the thorough explanation! I have a Keychron K2 V2, so it should be 4000mAh as per the website.

pffft there’s no way you draw even near enough battery to even notice any temperature change
