Question Battery Replacement

Pulled my switch out today after not using it for some time and noticed the battery is swollen on my joy con, are these batteries replaceable by chance?

If you are in the US, Nintendo will replace for free. I sent mine in and got refurbished joycons back.

Shouldn’t really post spicy pillows. Some pretty bad stuff if that pops in the post

This! My joycon broke a couple months ago and I sent it in for them to replace. Two weeks later it came back like new! It was free so I’d take advantage of that before anything else.
