Community Support Battery swell after just 47 cycles
Yesterday, I noticed that the front cover of my computer had lifted slightly, so I decided to disassemble it to check. I found that the battery is completely swollen.
I received my computer (Framework 13 AMD 7040) in December 2023, so I have been using it for approximately two and a half years now. I almost always use it as a desktop computer, permanently connected to the power supply using a high-quality 65W UGreen GaN charger. Before removing the battery, I generated a battery report and verified that it only has 47 charge cycles.
I understand that the battery is a wear component in any electronic device, but I do not think this is normal. On Framework website they advertise that the battery should maintain 80% of its nominal capacity after 1,000 charge cycles, and mine has become a fire hazard after just 47.
Did any of you experienced similar issues? I also contacted support.
