Introduction

A battery is responsible for providing power to the device. Overcharging the laptop by leaving it on the charger after it has reached its maximum charge or exceeding the number of charging cycles the battery can withstand will deteriorate the functionality of the battery.

When examining the your laptop or battery, take care to see if it is swollen. A swollen battery, when punctured, can cause a fire or an explosion. Follow this informative guide on possible signs, causes, and removal.

Ensure that the laptop is turned off and unplugged before beginning.
