Dangerous? Discharge - disconnect, don't inhale. Swollen MacBook battery free fix

- Swollen batteries are a very common issue; in case of macbooks, it will also affect trackpad functionality, and can lead to permanent chassis damage. Before getting a new one, you can get a bit more life out of it if you want, for free.
First make sure to discharge it fully before opening up the laptop.
Disconnect it from the logic board, go outside to avoid inhaling the gas. Puncture with a plastic object - metal could cause a spark and start a fire. Press on the cells to let all the gas out and then use some good tape to seal the holes.
I have done this hundred of times and did not have any report of issues.
The battery capacity will take a slight hit, but i have people running like this for a year and still holding some capacity.
Purchasing a new battery for old mac is a very hard task as scams are easy to come by, refurbished and low quality items are everywhere and will never last like the original one, and swapping it is a very long procedure.
These are even more reason to try getting the best out the one you have installed.

Il gonfiore delle batterie è un problema diffuso e potrebbe anche inficiare l'uso del trackpad e arrivare a deformare permanentemente il case. Puoi però continuare ad usarla ancora un po', bucandola con un attrezzo di plastica (per evitare scintille) e poi sgonfiando e richiudendo le celle con scotch.
L'ho fatto centinaia di volte, si perde un po' di capacità nell'immediato, ma puoi continuare ad usarla addirittura so di chi ancora dopo un anno non ha problemi ulteriori.
Comprare batterie nuove affidabili durevoli e anche l'operazione stessa di cambiarla sono cose difficili, perciò pensare di continuar con quella che hai può esser un ottima idea, gratuita e anche ecologica. - Věda a technologie
Please don't do this. This is totally insane. The fumes are toxic and there is a significant chance it could ignite.
you know, i started to record these just because of all these comments i got
It has been 3 years of multiple deflating every week, i have probably done more than 300 already, and not a single issue.
its not insane, just dont use something metal. it releases the gas. good if you dont have $$ for a new battery
@@mircomputers1221 you need to close the holes with glue or duct tape, now air moisture will enter the battery and as soon as a water drop of water will form between the now exposed layers, the layers will react and catch fire.
You pretty much made hundreds of time bombs.
@@adrianzanoli i never gave a battery back without taping it big, it would take an idiot not to seal the cut. How could i have done so many hundreds without a single issue otherwise
This is not a fix. This is a dangerous breach of the protective foil! This can result in fire. When cutting the foil you expose the batteries internal metals (in this case lithium) to outside air including moisture. This will result in more gases being 'emittet' and slowly completely break the battery. In case of over-temperature and high charge this may lead to a thermal runaway setting the battery on fire.
Yeah, sure, maybe you are not good at it. I have been doing this for years and thousands of batteries not a single issue
@@mircomputers1221 Same Argument as driving without seatbelt. don’t risk people’s life cheap ass
@@mircomputers1221also of the battery starts bloating the capacity is really weak so it can’t hold a decent charge anyway
@@mircomputers1221 no this is a straight up fire hazard, stop promoting this as a solution
hey man iv done thousand and never got any fire that would have been much fun but..no luck...@@backwardshalos6036
Just to confirm for others it wont make the battery hold a better charge. It will remove the gas (DO IT OUTSIDE) and let you keep using the laptop for a while until you can get a new battery (we don't all live in a country where a battery can be delivered quickly!). You should also tape up the hole you made once all the gas is gone. Try not to poke it straight down, do it horizontally.
yes, some batteries can even last another year after this, it depends, but it's still better than buy something if you don't need it just to prevent trackpad from cracking
@@mircomputers1221 Better to remove the battery and use only with charger plugged in, or do Apple products not allow this?
@@theothergameygamer macbooks run at 800mhz without battery, it has to report more than 0% but could last even 1 min, it is enough to prevent throttling

that just looks wrong
yet works
@@mircomputers1221 which is amazing actually
@@raymondm.3748 i like to record these when i have time and you can see other in my channel but we do it much more often every week
