Hey! My HP ENVY Laptop 17 -bw0xxx's battery has swollen up. I'm wondering how I can get a replacement battery or where I can go to get it replaced. I've heard that this can happen to laptops when damage has been done and I just don't like not being able to close my laptop in general. So, once again, can someone let me know where I can find a replacement battery? Thanks so much.

Service Manual:
(15) Battery (3-cell, 52-WHr, 4.55-AHr, Li-ion, includes cable) L09281-855
"How to" starts on p. 24-26. No reason to pay someone to do it.
The swelling is a normal but scary part of Lithium ion chemistry. It doesn't happen often but it happens regularly to all types of Li-ion batteries: cell phones, all brands of laptops, cordless power tools, etc. Still, on the first sign of swelling the battery must be replaced as it will just keep swelling and will cause serious damage. It does not mean there has been physical damage to the battery and it can actually store and provide current well after it starts swelling, oddly.
HP no longer has it in stock. This is a "compatible" 3rd party battery but rated 5 stars on amazon.com. It would work fine for you.
Post back if you want me to try to track down a genuine HP battery and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
