Previously, I made a thread accounting my degenerative battery life and shutdowns and random percentage <50% here

 

So, now,  upon further inspection, I have discovered opening the back cover off my (2 year) s4 that the battery now does not sit flush against the compartment. So, this is a potential battery expansion case. How should I go about dealing with this predicament?

replace the battery.

Short and simple, I like it. For curiosity's sake what do you think will happen if I continue using the battery?

Please don't. Bloating Li-ion/LiPo batteries are very dangerous. It could explode or catch fire anytime.

It's actually more likely just to leak than actually explode or catch fire, if it does leak it is going to destroy the internals.

Lithium based rechargeable batteries are a different beast. They will usually vent, explode or catch fire when abused.
