My nikon coolpix p510 battery was stuck in the camera, when I worked at it and got it to come out, it looks puffy. It has not had any water damage, just sitting in the camera for several months of no use. Is this a sign of a bad battery?
Is this a good question?

It happens when you leave them in the camera for a long time while stored. So they are saying you have to reset the camera every time you use it. Stupidest thing. No more Nikons for me.

Taking/Extracting a Stucked Battery Out of a Nikon Coolpix P510
1st off, pull the yellow tab to allow the battery to be pushed out.
-with the use/aid of a thin metal/sturdy objects like a knife and long-nose-plier; carefully/gently wiggle the stucked battery upward/outward of the camera's battery compartment until it's exposed enough to pull it out with the plier.
Once pulled out/extracted; carefully examine the battery and the battery compartment and the springs that made it pop out whenever you replaced the battery. If there's corrossion/rust; clean the corrossion with Q-tips and rubbing alcohol; and dry them before replacing the battery with a new clean one.
The main causality of this is a swollen Lithium Ion batteries. Be careful though not to puncture them because they might explode.
This procedure will hopefully work with other cameras with Li-Ion battery packs.

I also have a Nikon 510 with the original battery. A week or so ago I needed to remove it to install another and I couldn't get it out. Was finally able to pry it out and it was bulged too. The best part is I just bought a Nikon B700??? I guess I'll be watching....

I had the same problem on my Nikon P900. The camera shop could not help ..said they needed to send it to Nikon for a $35 shipping charge and then wait to hear what the damage was. I was able to wiggle out the battery ..but the spare batteries are also swollen so not sure if the camera works or is damaged

Just encountered this with a Nikon P530 sitting unused for many months. I gently slid a strip of scotch tape in the gap between the battery and slot as far down as I could before it stuck to the battery and then once it did, used some folded paper to press the adhesive by sliding it into the slot. This gave a tab I could pull and got it out far enough to grab it with my fingers. Battery was definitely puffy/swollen
