I have a 2017 MacBook Pro which seems to have a swollen battery, I have come to this opinion as my lid won’t shut and my trac pad is a bit temperamental, any suggestions

Hi,

You should replace the battery as soon as possible, since inside devices and parts would be damaged by swollen battery.

Definitely take the machine into service. The battery could explode if you leave it turned on too long.

Don't risk it.
