I can't completly close my Mac. The top part of the case is fine but the bottom part is "bowed" up. I haven't taken it apart yet. The Mac runs but is very slow and some of the keys don't seem to work. I didn't use it for 6 months because I use an iMac at work. Before I stopped using it the battery would only had a usage time of about 2 hours.
Is this a good question?

Sounds like your battery has bulged possibly due to over discharge from being in storage for so long.
You should follow this procedure to remove and install a new battery 2012 macbook air battery replacement
Make sure you get the right year and model though when ordering a new battery!
Regardless of you want to put a new battery in, you should remove the old battery if it is bulged as it could be a safety hazard and get worse just sitting around in the macbook.
Good luck and let us know if this was the solution :)
