Your HP Omen 15 is nearing its fourth year. The battery still offers reasonable runtime compared to when you first purchased it, but it’s starting to swell noticeably, which may affect the touchpad. I found an option to upgrade from a 54-watt to a 70-watt battery. According to the link provided, it should work and won’t damage your laptop since the voltage output matches. Could anyone confirm compatibility and reassure me it won’t cause overheating? Additionally, your temperature readings jump between 50 and 99 degrees in less than two seconds, even after using different CPU monitoring tools. I’m unsure if the sensor is failing because of the heat spikes. After a recent repaste, everything seems secure—heat sinks are properly positioned. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hey, if the battery gets swollen, it’s best to remove it right away. It could harm other parts or cause a fire. Handle the laptop carefully during disassembly—avoid squishing the battery or puncturing it. This isn’t meant to alarm you; I’ve seen swollen batteries that didn’t catch fire, but still take it out. Keep track of all screws and cables by taking photos. The laptop will function without a battery while you wait for the new one, but you’ll need the AC adapter constantly. For the battery replacement, check online forums or ask others who’ve done it before. You can also order one to test fit, making sure dimensions, voltage, and connectors match. The temperature concern is unusual—try reapplying the adhesive if it hasn’t been changed. Dust the device while working.
