I really like my surface pros, have a 2016 one that still runs great even though the battery is starting to bulge a bit. My mom got a non-pro and had lots of issues.

Yikes you do know a bulging battery is a fire risk right?

[–] jamesrandysghost@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

This. That battery is a fire risk to any home its in.

I know not every bulging barrery is seconds from catching fire....but it's just no worth the risk.

I know someone that lost a family member in a house fire started by failing lithium batteries in a hoverboard.

I didn't know! What's the best way to dispose of it?
