I have a 2010 MBP 15" with a Simplo battery that's been slowly growing swollen for a few months, and in that few months I've been getting GPU panics easily triggered via Mission Control. Once I took out the swollen battery, I can no longer reporduce the GPU panics despite having set to dedicated graphics via gfxCardStatus. I'm still using the original MagSafe charger that came with my MBP to power the unit.
Can a swollen battery be the cause of GPU panics...? Can a replacement of a good battery get rid of the GPU panics long enough to last me until the new 14/16 MBPs arrive...?
For a history, the logic board on this Mac was once replaced by Apple 6 years ago for the same GPU problem, minus the battery issue.
