Swollen Dell XPS battery, should I remove it? Out of warranty support?

[Chunchunmaru_]

I own an XPS 15 9550, that after 2 years the battery only lose the 22% of the capacity, but the real issue here is that it become suddenly swollen.
It's a known defect, and a friend of mine who got the same model got his battery replaced out of warranty.
This is what it should look like in a normal state 














 

 

This is mine

Do you know if they still replace those batteries for free? 

But first another question, I immediately removed this battery and put it out my home, I don't want it to blow, do I need to worry anyway? Should I put it back? It still works, after all.

Don't put it back, dispose of it in the correct containers.

1st priority is to properly dispose of that thing ASAP. Worry about the warranty bit after. Property damage (or injury) from a lithium fire is a lot more pricy than paying out for an out-of-warranty battery replacement.

Ok so I basically completely discharged it to 0% first, now I'll wait for a Dell answer from facebook

It won't blow unless you puncture it.

Just get it off and replace it, no need to panic.
