Why does my TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator die fast?

Why does my TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator die fast? When charging, the battery indicator on the screen stays the same at about 3/4 of the rectangle. I left it for about 5 hours and it still isn’t fully charged. When I unplug it to use it for 5 minutes, the calculator battery instantly drops to about 1/4 of the rectangle.

"As brandon k pointed out, that behavior likely means the battery is shot and you’ll need to replace it. There’s a guide to help you with that here: Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Battery Replacement

Be careful because the battery may have swelled and could cause a fire if you mess with it too roughly."
