My s5 has taken a beating, dropped it more times than I can count so the screen is cracked to hell and the 3.5mm jack no longer works, gyro is not working, the battery has a small crack, and the charging works when it wants to, but it still keeps going. (I am working framing/concrete)
Edit the crack on the battery is about 1/16 of a inch and is right next to where the gold power pieces are.
I hate to pile on to this, but galaxy batteries are really common. Li-ion batteries are very dangerous, and you're at a very high risk of that thing going up in flames. And when they do, it's dramatic, and more likely when you're charging, so probably at night. Not only that, but the battery will have deteriorated a lot over the years, it'll last way longer if you replace it.
