Purchased my new battery less than a year ago from Ifixit. days ago, the computer won’t close, by last night the key board was bowing, scared the battery was going to explode. What do I do? Waiting to hear from ifixit….
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

I definitely wouldn’t try to charge it anymore. contact ifixit customer support about the issue, I’m not sure how long their batteries are warrantied for but they would be able to assist you with it. a bulging battery could prove to be a fire hazard and should be handled with care!

It is possible that the battery was damaged by external causes such as a failed power cable. First off, I would replace the battery (whether it is covered under warranty would be up to ifixit). Second, I would replace my charger and cable to rule out those as an issue. You may be getting improper voltages that are causing premature degradation of the battery and in your case, swelling.

Thanks Robert, but no issue with cable. Battery out and one of the batteries is swollen, really swollen. Bad battery, that’s all
