Swollen MacBook Pro Battery
MacFixIt has posted some pictures of their swollen MacBook Pro battery:
We've extensively covered an issue where the MacBook Pro's battery gradually swells, -- apparently due to overheating. In mild cases, batteries swell but remain functional. In these cases, keyboard and/or trackpad functionality is sometimes affected by the rising of internal components.
In severe cases, the swelling is visually striking, and users are eventually left with non-functioning batteries. Sudden shutdowns while charge remains are usually precursory to such failures.
