Abstract
Examples are described herein for monitoring power source usage of a computing device, including a battery and another power source, over time. In various examples, time periods of this monitored time may be added to a time count based on their immediately previous or immediately subsequent time periods satisfying a condition. The time count may be used to track periods of time during which certain power source usage factors are present that may lead to or may indicate the presence of battery swelling. After a time period is added to the time count, the updated time count can be compared to a time count threshold, and a user of the computing device may be warned based on the comparison. The threshold and warning may be selected to warn a user of potential present or future swelling of the battery.
