Experiencing battery swelling?

If you have noticed that your notebook has a slight bulge or no longer sits flat, this may indicate that your battery may be swollen.

Battery swelling is the result of the generation of gases per the normal degradation of the battery cell over time and does not present a safety issue. In order to protect your hardware from potential damage, HP recommends that customers experiencing battery swelling discontinue use of the notebook until the battery can be replaced.

If your original HP battery is under warranty, HP will replace the battery per the terms and conditions of the HP Worldwide Limited Warranty or applicable HP Care Packs. For batteries no longer under warranty, we can help you purchase a certified HP genuine replacement battery.

A photo of your swollen battery, or deformation of the laptop case, is the quickest way to get confirmation of the issue and is relatively easy by using your smart phone to take the picture and then upload your image.
Do NOT attempt to open your battery compartment or remove the battery from your laptop in order to take a photo. An image of the deformed case is all that is required.
