Hello

Any ideas what I can do with a fully functional iPad Air (from 2015) with a swollen battery? I noticed slight bulging but it works perfectly fine.

Ang suggestions? Repair? Not sure if it’s worth the cost involved…

Thanks all. The screen was lifting so I thought of getting a new battery for it. Shipping + material + tools were going to be close to the replacement cost at the shop. Took it to a local shop, got it replaced for reduced cost as I already took the whole screen off the glue. $113 inc GST. The iPad Air 2 working perfectly now.
