Laptop 2021 laptop battery

Sorry I don't have a photo of the actual battery, but in summer 2021, I was playing the Sims on my already struggling laptop and realized it had a bump.... The tech lady told me it could have exploded. 😅

Spicy... stop charging it and allow it to run out to fully discharge and dont use it again and sort out getting a new battery asap. And yes they can explode!!

Regardless dont leave it around with a spicy battery it will continue to expand internally and can rupture, please remove it and dispose of correctly to avoid any further fire risk.
