My iFixit battery started overheating

Help

I've bought a replacement MBA battery from iFixit:

MacBook Air 13" (Late 2010-2017) Battery

And at first, I wasn't getting the full potential of the battery (like when it was new), but the laptop worked, and It was fine.

But today, the battery started to bloat that the case was visibly damaged and then started to get too hot and bloat even more and now it doesn't work.

What should I do now?

If it's still covered by the warranty just take a couple of pictures and contact iFixit to ask for replacement. In any case don't try to charge it and unplug it from the logic board Asap as a precaution. Store the battery in a place with good ventilation and if you need to use your mac you can do it from the mains.
