he didn't say it was swollen or that it needed servicing. 

it's something he can check but chances are that it's not applicable.

he said it stops at 97% and that's normal. charging switches to trickle
charge at 95% and may not always reach 100%. one way around it is drain
it to 94% or lower and put it back on the charger. a better way is not
worry about it at all.
