Wow, a swollen battery is not covered under warranty?! I would understand that if the battery is removable, but how would you prevent this?

(of course, under normal usage it's very unlikely that a modern battery will swell, but it's not impossible)

No, I believe it's saying that any split that was not caused by a swollen battery is out-of-warranty. If it was caused by a swollen battery it would be eligible for an in-warranty repair.
