vik1ng_w0w Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I have a Clevo PA71ES-G laptop that I bought from HIDevolution in 2018 (specs in signature). Since the temps were getting high, I decided to re-paste the laptop and noticed the battery to be somewhat swollen as shown in the pics. I have re-pasted and re-assembled the laptop and am currently using it without plugging in the battery until I could get some advice. I live in India and replacement battery is available (model PA70BAT-4) but I've never heard of any of the websites. Last I repasted was November 2021 and the battery was fine back then. Is it safe to plug-in and use the battery for a while longer or is it done? I always keep the laptop plugged in and while electricity outage is not an issue, this situation has me concerned regardless.

razor0601 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I would not put back in this Battery. It is possible that you can get a shortage on the Mainboard. 1 Schenker DTR 15(P751TM1) @Dsanke Bios, I7-8700, 32GB 2666MHz RAM, GTX 1060, 15,6“ 4K B156ZAN02.2 Display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishayin Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Maybe if you mention the battery sellers you are looking at others might be able to say if they've had prior dealings with any of them, or could potentially recommend others?

jaybee83 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 agreed with the above, do not mess with swollen batteries, total fire / explosion hazard. get rid of the battery and look for a replacement. 1 Mine: Hyperion "Titan God of Heat, Heavenly Light, Power" (2022-24) AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (TG High Perf.

vik1ng_w0w Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Thank you all for the help, I really appreciate it! @IshatixI just googled the battery model number (PA70BAT-4) and whatever came up in the results are the ones I'm doubtful about (also only 2 pages of results). Though just to name them- solutions365 (dot) in ebuyindia (dot) in topbattery (dot) in lappiecare (dot) in Some of the rest are from foreign sites which will be a pain in the ass to buy from for various reasons. As I mentioned, I'm using the laptop right now without a battery. I think it also caused an issue where the system would crash with everything going slo-mo (animations, sound, cursor, etc) when I simply pick up the laptop. That hasn't happened so far since I removed it. 1 EVOC PA71ES-G CPU | Intel Core i7 8750H @ 2.2GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) -120mV GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB RAM | 8GBx2 DDR4 @ 2400MHz Storage | 500GB Samsung 860 EVO M.2, 1TB HGST 7200RPM HDD Display | 17.3" AUO B173HAN03.1 IPS @ 144Hz OS | Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (Phoenix/Spartan tweaks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also see if there is a way to contact them ahead of placing the order to confirm stock in place and see how responsive they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
