I also found this fairly recent (2019) article about Lithium Polymer batteries and off-gassing.Overheating batteries are no laughing matter, so this may be urgent: Apple has just issued a recall for the 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display, saying its batteries “may pose a fire safety risk.”
Same with a battery, if it’s getting over charged, it might as well let you know clearly and safely. If the car is going to crash, it might as well do so safely. This design is like crumple zones in a car - the hardware is designed to save life in the event the design tolerances are exceeded. All the more reason to take it to an Apple Store even if you think you are out of warranty. Others have mentioned that a swollen battery broke the trackpad on their MacBook Pro. I would take it to Apple Store immediately.Īlso if the battery continues to swell it will eventually break something inside your computer. In the past, these original batteries have exploded. You may be covered by a safety program about the Apple batteries in the MacBook and it has precautions to take. Protect your data immediately, the hardware also needs attention. This is the battery airbag inflating to prevent a problem like fire or failure. Remote service is easy for this and quick and consider getting a backup and then take your computer to the Apple Store if they are open in your country. You should definitely locate a service provider that can run a test today / tomorrow. Happy to provide more information if possible. Geographically, I am in London, if it helps. Should I continue using? I have booked an appointment with AASP on Monday, but I do have a heavy usage on this weekend - tomorrow and day after. I am not sure why it got so much swollen and it also affects the trackpad and other things, I really hope it doesn't come out breaking.

A USB-C to USB adapter or cable if you're using a USB mouse or keyboard with a Mac that has USB-C ports.An external keyboard and mouse or trackpad, either USB or wireless.An AC power adapter or an external display that provides power over USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C).
To use closed-display mode with your Mac notebook, here's what you need: I cannot remove the power cable, if I do so, the system switches off in clamshell mode. I always use it in a clamshell mode (lid closed, power connected, external monitor, keyboard and mouse always connected). Should I continue using it with the bulge or should I do anything to reduce the bulge? As this is my only source of income with the work I do here and there's no alternate for me. And here are some more information about the machine. I have been handling it really carefully - dust free, never dropped down, etc.
For the past two days I noticed a strange bulge in the bottom and the lid isn't closing correctly. My MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), details enclosed, is working perfectly. I checked with Macbook Pro mid-2015 15" swollen battery and I am asking this question.
