In this particular case the battery has over 500 load-cycles but it runs at a maximum capacity of 60% which can cause random shutdown or the battery percentage is not accurate. The battery is not expanded but the texture looks "wrinkly".
This can be caused by wear and tear after years and years of continuous usage.
As in the example showed in our photos it shows how the swollen battery can have twice the size of the new one but sometime can be only half of the battery swollen and the other half will look just great.
Unfortunately, The batteries are made with lithium ion which, just like any other battery material - it will get old. Once that happens, the processes that keep them running will deteriorate, meaning a replacement is needed. Charging and discharging correctly will help extending the lifetime of the battery.
When a battery needs to be removed from an ipad using sharp,rigid & metal tools, it is extremly dangerous because one wrong move can result in a pierced battery that could catch fire and expell toxic fumes.
We use plastic flexible tools and a mix of isopropil alcohol, heat and a bit of skills.
If the right temperature is used, the battery will be fairly easy to remove however, there is still a small risk it can catch fire. Why? Because these batteries are not flexible and bending them can cause rupture resultingin it catching fire. But there is nothing to worry about if your device is in the hands of an experienced technician. We work in conditions in which we are prepared for anything.
But what if the worst does happen and we end up with a battery on fire? In that case a fireproof box is essential to have nearby to deal with the casualty.
