My experience with expanded lithium batteries says otherwise.

  My team maintained about 30k laptops at one point. We historically bought <1000 batteries a year, mostly due to environmental issues like cold and good lifecycle management.

    I must either have extremely bad luck or I'm doing something wrong with my computers that's triggering battery swelling. having > 3% of your batteries go puffy though is still significant when you can redesign your machines to be easier to repair.

      The main correlations are thermal conditions and how much you plug it in. “Desk bound” laptops don’t fare well. I’m not running that business anymore, but I’d be interested in changes between 2019 and 2022, as people are running on battery more and using residential electric service.
