Chosen Solution
bought an ipad mini 2 off ebay…came with a swollen battery (go figure) I paid about $60 for it, the seller offered a partial refund of $40 because he forgot to mention it…so would end up being $20 (a steal) he said he never had a problem with it. i’ve been using it for two weeks now and never had a issue with it. screen works fine. charges and holds a charge just like new. so my questions are (1) is it dangerous? like does it require replacement or am I OK to keep using it as is? (2) can I, by myself, replace the battery? I’ve replaced two iphone batteries, it’s pretty easy but those batteries weren’t swollen. Or is a swallow battery some risk factor and only an expert can replace it?
It is very dangerous to leave it in. Replace it now. But open it up and get that battery out before it cracks your screen. Here’s how: iPad Mini 2 LTE Battery Replacement
