HP Spectre x360 - Another blotted battery

[bofhtx]

Yes, my laptop is old.  Yes, it is out of warranty.  But, it still works for what I need.  A few days ago, I noticed the dreaded bottom lid separation from the the laptop and I knew.  As soon as I started to pull the screws out of the bottom, the lid just about jumped off the laptop from the stress.  It is a wonder the screws didn't just strip out from the force.  These batteries most certainly should have been recalled.  I had 2 of these models and the other one died a long time ago.  I pulled the battery and put it next to this one and you can see the difference.  Even that battery has 1 cell starting to puff.  If this didn't start a fire, it would most certainly ruin your laptop if left alone.  Not acceptable.
