HI!
recently I noticed that my laptop started to deform and the bottom sheet has expanded, i concluded that it was a swollen battery. My laptop is a dell latitude 7480 and since I got it in 2019, I have been using a 130W charger when the laptop is rated for up to 90W.
I got my laptop secondhand and I didn't really know if the higher wattage would hurt my battery but i did at last change to a 65W charger which is the minimum for this laptop and that is when i started noticing the swollen battery.
I don't know if the higher W of the first charger did it or the sudden change in charger capacity did, but I need help.
how much can I still use the laptop? my battery has 4 cells and by the look of it one in the middle is the defective one and my bios still shows that the battery health is good (down from excellent). I read online that it might burst into flames.
