Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You could try and see if your laptop is pending a BIOS update. Are you working with Windows OS? If so, open Device Manager, look for Batteries and delete/remove/uninstall Microsoft ACPI-complaint Control method battery from said listing. See if that helps.

I would advise you replace the battery with a genuine part.

The battery may contain needed circuitry.
To allow switching between plugged in and battery mode.
That is why an original supported battery may be needed. oem "compatible" batteries may not work.
Yes, original batteries will be more expensive.
And check for a bios update. Your original battery may have swelled because of overcharging that is controlled by the bios.

Can the swollen battery still fit?
If so, give that a try.
Does it still hold a charge?

Then, I think your only option is to try a replacement battery.
It is possible, that there is another defect in the laptop and you are throwing good money after bad.
You might try the Lenovo user forums.
