  A question of pure dumb luck, every big notebook producer issues a recall sometime.

  Apple: Recalled almost 2~ million batteries.
  Dell: Recalled 4~ Million batteries.
  Samsung: Recalled 2.5~ million Note 7's for exploding batteries.
  Nokia: Recalled 46~ million batteries.
  
  This is something that happens more often than you think.

  I have a HP x360 that I bought in late 2016. The first thing I did after buying it was replace Windows with Mint. I don't think I can run the battery diagnostic application since it's Windows software. So, it looks like I'm in a position of either buying a replacement battery myself, or continuing to use it and hoping it doesn't catch on fire.
  Next computer I buy will have Linux pre-installed.
