Batteries can swell as they reach end of life. A battery is only warrantied for 1 year. Buy a Dell replacement battery if it's available. Or use the adapter alone without any battery. That works as a desktop replacement. Beware of off brand batteries from auction or marketplace sites. Many scams out there now.

Welcome to the Dell Community @Kknguyen
Please do not let a swollen battery decide for you what manufacturer of laptop you will purchase in the future.
All manufacturers of laptops that use Lithium-ion Polymer batters swell.
So you would need to find a laptop without a Lithium-ion Polymer battery.
That would eliminate Apple as their batteries are the worst!!!
I have thousands that get recycled every year. "Tons"
Although, Apple recognized this problem and has the best replacement policy ever.
Apple has determined that, in a number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk.
Customer safety is always Apple's top priority, and we have voluntarily decided to replace affected batteries, free of charge.
Come-on DELL do you not care about Customer Safety or just their money?????
Best regards,
