Laptop battery swelling is a common problem on laptops. Many people have encountered the phenomenon of laptop batteries swelling, and they are confused about whether they can continue to use it. If you are facing the problem of battery swelling, here It helps.

I recently received inquiries from two customers. One customer's laptop battery was swollen, and the other customer complained that it ran out of juice quickly after being fully charged. They asked me how to solve this problem, and I told them the simplest way was to The most direct solution is to replace the battery.

Of course, if you want to save money, you can also choose to remove the battery directly, so that the laptop will rely entirely on the power adapter for power. I hope my suggestions can help them solve their problems and make the user experience smoother.

You may find that the battery has changed shape over the course of a day. It may become swollen or bulging. Then, the battery may feel heavier or harder. You may even notice a slight deformation on the bottom of the laptop or around the keyboard. If you notice these signs, you should stop using your laptop immediately. These are common signs of a swollen battery.

What causes battery swelling?

Batteries also "age" over time. The chemistry inside the battery changes, causing it to become less able to store energy and to produce byproducts that slowly build up and eventually cause the battery to swell.

In order to deeply explore the reasons why batteries swell in actual use, we conducted a survey, collected feedback from 200 customers, and came to the following conclusions.

Battery aging is one of the main causes of swelling. Over time, the electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries will gradually decompose and produce gas. These gases cannot be discharged and will accumulate inside the battery, causing the battery to swell.

Charging habits can also affect battery life. Overcharging or leaving the battery at low charge for a long time can damage the battery and accelerate battery aging, which can cause swelling.

In addition, a short circuit inside the battery can also cause expansion. A short circuit can generate a lot of heat, accelerate battery aging, and may cause an explosion.

Finally, environmental factors cannot be ignored. High temperature, humidity or direct sunlight will accelerate battery aging and increase the risk of battery swelling.

How to fix and prevent battery swelling?

Even though the battery has started to swell, it will still be able to function, albeit at a significantly reduced efficiency. The battery may still be able to power the device when it is plugged into the charger, but once the power cord is unplugged, the device will shut down immediately. If your device has a swollen battery, do not take it lightly; one day in the future , it will not function properly.

If you find that your laptop battery has shown signs of swelling, we can try to use a professional battery safety bag to seal the swollen battery and quickly put it into a safe container for disposal.

When handling swollen batteries, be sure to be extremely vigilant and never touch them directly with your hands. Because these swollen batteries may be abnormally hot. Once a customer was careless when replacing a battery, and his finger was burned by the battery, and it became red and swollen instantly. Although this example may be a bit exaggerated, it also reminds us to be extra careful.

We can place the battery in a safe place for 24 hours to let it cool naturally and observe its condition. If the battery returns to normal, you can continue to use it, but if the battery is still swollen, it is recommended not to use it again

Battery swelling is a headache. Once it happens, it cannot be reversed and the only option is to replace the battery. But this does not mean that we can only passively wait for the battery to swell. We can take some measures to delay battery swelling:

We can check the health of the battery regularly. Almost all laptops are equipped with a battery health monitoring function that can display the remaining capacity and service life of the battery.

If you find that the battery health has deteriorated, or if you experience any abnormalities such as slower charging or shorter battery life, you should replace the battery in a timely manner.

We should also avoid overcharging and over-discharging. Overcharging will increase the internal pressure of the battery, accelerate aging, and even cause safety hazards; while over-discharging will also damage the battery and shorten its service life. Therefore, it is recommended to disconnect the charger in time when the battery is fully charged, and avoid waiting until the battery is exhausted before charging.

In addition, it is also important to choose the right charger and charging environment. Using a low-quality charger or charging in a high temperature environment will accelerate battery aging and increase the risk of swelling. It is recommended to use the original charger and charge in a well-ventilated environment.

How do I change the battery?

Laptop batteries are delicate and fragile components that typically have a shorter lifespan than other parts. As a result, laptop battery warranties tend to be shorter.

You need to confirm whether your laptop has the function of replacing the battery, as not all laptops support this design.

If your battery is non-removable, things are a little more complicated. First, you'll need to contact the manufacturer of your device and ask if they offer a battery replacement service. If they do, great! If they don't, or your device is out of warranty, you may want to consider buying a new device.

Most electronic devices come with a one-year warranty, which means that within the first year after purchase, the manufacturer will repair or replace any defective parts free of charge. You'll need to read the warranty terms and conditions carefully to make sure your device is covered. Be aware that if you try to replace the battery yourself, you may void your existing warranty.

Once you've confirmed that your laptop has a replaceable battery, the next step is to find the correct battery model. You can find this information by consulting your laptop's manual, the label on the battery itself, or by visiting the laptop manufacturer's website.

Once you have found the correct battery model, you can purchase a new battery. It is recommended that you choose a reputable retailer to ensure the quality and safety of the battery.

What should I do with a swollen battery?

Safety comes first! A swollen battery may be a safety risk, so we must stop using it immediately and keep it away from any source of fire. Even if it is just swollen and nothing happens now, it may suddenly get hot, causing thermal runaway, or even rupture or fire (explosion).

After replacing the battery, store it properly immediately. Battery disposal is critical. Never discard batteries in the trash or elsewhere. Batteries react chemically in landfills, producing toxic gases that can cause respiratory problems and other health problems for sanitation workers.

We need to find the right way to deal with it. If your battery is removable, you can remove it from the device and place it in a safe place, such as a metal box, away from flammable items. Next, contact the battery manufacturer or retailer and ask them about the handling of swollen batteries. They usually provide recycling or treatment services.
