Battery swelling concerns when running local models

I like to experiment with local models on my laptop (Framework 13), but I'm concerned about the sustained high GPU load causing prolonged hardware heat generation. Specifically, I'm concerned about the battery eventually swelling (which can lead to explosion/fire risks) due to prolonged heat exposure. My laptop is well-ventilated and the GPU seems to stay at a stable ~78° F when running inference, but the laptop still gets hot to the touch. Has anyone experienced battery swelling issues due to excessive local model use? Or is it an unlikely issue? submitted by /u/jeremyckahn [link] [comments.
