Home touchscreen battery swollen

My XFINITY home touchscreen was giving a message that the battery was low. After verifying that it was plugged in properly, it still gave that message. I opened the back of the unit and saw that the battery is swollen! I’m worried that it could cause a fire!

I had a similar degrading cell problem just this week with a Getac Technology battery as used in the touchscreen for our Xfinity alarm system. I have already replaced the battery with one off Amazon so no service call will be made

I'm going to drop the old battery off at my local Xfinity facility when I run an errand later today to make them aware of this. Simply put a swollen Li battery is a safety issue and this may be part of a production run problem that has more than 2 units involved.
