[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1805163, member: 396914"] You don't need to wait for it to be happening to check it. A swelling battery will not swell and shrink with use, it just swells and stays that way. The swelling is a symptom of the chemistry in the battery going bad and yes, the fix is to replace it. A swelling battery is also a fire hazard, so it's important to replace it and dispose of it properly. I don't know if the battery in your MBP is glued in, but if it is, you should probably get the battery replaced by an authorized Apple repair facility. If you want to see what's involved, check at ifixit.com [/QUOTE]
