What to do if my Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged Laptop battery is swollen?
- BBarbara DeckerAug 2, 2025
If you notice that the lithium-ion battery in your Dell laptop is swollen, immediately stop using the laptop. Disconnect the AC adapter and allow the battery to fully discharge. Swollen batteries should not be used. Replace the swollen battery and properly dispose of the old one. Contact Dell product support to explore options for replacing the battery under your warranty or service contract. If the battery is covered under warranty, return it to Dell in an approved shipping container. Otherwise, dispose of it at an approved recycling center.
