Introduction
A laptop battery is a crucial component of the computer system. Acting as a source of power, the battery enables the laptop to run without a power cable, however, laptop batteries tend to degrade over time. As such, you may find that your Dell Inspiron 16-7610 heats up faster than it used to or that the computer's performance has worsened. Replacing the battery will resolve these issues. If you find your battery is swollen or damaged, be sure to take any necessary precautions to prevent injury.
