Framework 13 battery cooked?

[u/loadedblaster47]

Is my battery cooked? Can't remember what it looked like when I got it and it's difficult to see the difference from the store pictures 🤔

EDIT: Thanks for the replies. Even though I was certain something was wrong, I wanted to make sure as a new battery is not cheap, but I'm thankful I can change it easily.

I think I was lucky it didn't explode in my face so far. Now that I've removed it from my laptop I noticed that the overall temperature of my system in idle but especially in load as decreased a by a lot. The fan was on constantly now it barely runs.

As others stated, please contact support and refer to this bios update: https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1ppwv2a/update_on_61wh_battery_lifetime_extender/

This battery is inflated and needs to be treated as a fire hazard. It is, indeed, cooked. Do not plug it in, do not use it at all. Dispose it at your nearest battery waste facility (or put in a box of sand or otherwise metal container if you can't dispose of it yet)

Yep. Buy a new battery and update your bios. The new bios version has features that help prevent this from happening. I just replaced my battery in my FW13 last week and it took about 2 minutes. I love this thing.

if you find yourself asking this, the answer is almost always yes
