MacbookPro 2017, The battery swollen

Hi,

2-years ago, I bought my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017).

from 1 year ago, I realised that the back of laptop get bended, something inside the laptop got bigger.

recently, I've watched a video on Youtube, there was the guy having the same situation and he said that was caused by the swollen battery.

this is my battery status:

Health Information:

Cycle Count: 153

Condition: Service Battery

Anyone can give me an advise for my case?

Thank you so much.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Well, you should have serviced the battery when first notified. A swollen battery can cause expensive damage to other parts of your Mac, not covered under warranty. Make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar nearest to you.

You need to get the battery serviced (replaced) ASAP and the rest of the computer checked for any damage. If the case is warped (likely) you don't need to replace the case, but if you do you are looking at around $400 for the case. The battery replacement is around $200

I feel like playing unfair game with Apple products and it's services.

the battery expected to be used up to 1000 Cycle counts.

But it gets swollen and leaks electricity when it reaches only 15% of the expected battery life.

Now I have to pay a lot of money for it - for the bad product.
