It should not explode but it can cause major problems and this web page has more information. Also this page as well.I would remove it and safely dispose of it asap. It can cause severe and expensive damage to your laptop.
How come I have a Latitude from 2010 and the battery is just perfect and the new one from Alienware is about to explode? Dell is doing something completely wrong putting in risk their customers and throwing the business to the trashcan.
Today's batteries are much different from those from 2010. Laptops got thinner and lighter so batteries were redesigned and can now start to wear down or fail after 18 - 24 months. However today's laptops are designed to work without a battery, using the adapter alone. Not ideal since it makes a laptop a desktop replacement but most users use laptops like that anyway. Also it is almost impossible to get replacement batteries when needed. Batteries can wear down sitting on a shelf in the warehouse so stock is depleted quickly.
Looks more that laptops, as mobile phones, are disposable. Costs remains the same, quality drops and everything is about making constant business. Poor planet with companies making bad batteries.
