Internal Lithium-Ion Battery Replacement Kit
The root cause is the failure of the lithium-ion cells due to outgassing. Replacing the battery pack removes the pressurized cells that are causing the chassis to warp and prevents potential thermal runaway. A kit including adhesive remover is necessary as these batteries are chemically bonded to the top case.

Top Case Assembly with Battery and Keyboard
In many 16-inch MacBook Pro models, the battery is integrated into the top case. If the swelling has progressed to the point of 'rocking' on a desk or interfering with the trackpad/keyboard, the aluminum frame may be permanently deformed, requiring the replacement of the entire upper structural assembly.

Bottom Case (Lower Cover)
The lower aluminum panel often bows outward when the battery expands. While the panel is sometimes flexible enough to return to its original shape, severe swelling can strip the screw threads or permanently warp the metal, preventing a flush seal after the battery is replaced.
