My battery did the same thing and my phone kept turning off. I truly think that you should buy a new battery to avoid damage to your phone.

Hi asliah,
A battery that gets out of shape indicates pressure build up from gases and chemicals inside. These are oftentimes harmful. Worse, it cause damage to the unit and may explode and cause fire while on the process of charging.
Dispose old batteries properly. Do not send to the trash bin as other garbage. Some companies recycle old batteries, check out your local dealers for this.

I don't think it's safe at all. It's bloated and there is a great danger of overheating or explosion and you might hurt yourself. Or worts, when you're charging, it can cause fire and burn down your house. It's better to change your battery.
Like the old saying goes, it's better safe that never!

i suggest that you don't use the bloated battery anymore.. based on experience, if you continue using that kind of battery, it might be too risky.. bloated batteries would eventually explode and might ruin your mobile phone as well.. my cousin had that battery and still continued using it.. then one time when he was actually charging his phone, it suddenly exploded.. good thing that he was able to remove the plug before a fire on the socket started.. the battery was destroyed.. as well as his phone.. so if you can just buy a new one, that would be better.. and safer..
