MBP 2011-12 model battery bloated

[innerlight10]

Hi, my MPB which I just changed the hard disk and new battery about maybe 1 year ago, now has the bloated battery syndrome again. My touchpad is popping out slightly so it has no give when I press it, so it doesn't work - the right or left clicks. The power cycle is only 29.

I have this bad habit of keeping it on power 24/7.

Will the batt explode if I continue to use it? other than that the mbp is working relatively fine for now.

Do you advise for me to splurge and change the battery again? Usually I have external monitor , keyboard and mouse. I don't even open the lid of MPB . Can't rem how much it cost to change the batt. Anyone knows?

Do all of you switch off your mbp every day/night?

1. Stop using your laptop and have the battery replaced.
2. Ditch the habit of keeping it on power 24/7
3. I don't shutdown my macbook. I'm either using it or it's sleeping.
