The reasons of battery bulging are as follows:First, battery level, such as electrode coating uneven, the production process is coarser.Second, some problems about battery overcharge and over discharge in the course of using. Therefore, there is some tips about how to prevent battery from bulging:

1. Maybe the battery can not match with charger’s cut-off voltage, please change the battery charger.
2. The battery used for a long time will cause bulge. Because long-term use is equivalent to short circuit battery anode and cathode.
3. Unplug from the charger. After you are done charging it, make sure to unplug the charger from the wall/laptop so that it doesn't become heated up.
4. Take out your battery. You should take your battery out at any time. This is not true, unless you are planning on not using your laptop for over a week, then you would have to take it out.
5. Drain & Recharge at least once a month. If you drain your battery completely at least once a month, then it will maximize the battery's capacity to hold a charge.
