So it was the string that made the battery stuck in the camera and not the battery swelled?
Yep. I don't know why I didn't see the black string at first, but once I saw it, and started pulling on it...
Well, the rest is history

Maybe putting a "Pull Tab" of masking tape along one side of the battery with a little tail to grab would work?
As it turned out....
Wow, now I feel really foolish. I had tied a piece of string to the lens cap so I wouldn't lose it. The string is black, and I did not see it. Somehow, the string had broken from the lens cap, and it was in the battery well with the battery. I pulled on the string when I saw it, and it came out with difficulty, and so did the battery. Turns out the spring on the floor was not the battery spring, and all is well.

Umm..
Isn't the spring UNDER the battery?
If the spring came out, wouldn't the battery have to have been removed in order for it to come out?
Yes, I am sure it came out the previous time that I removed the battery.

I use a U-shaped strap thaz just a strip of thin polyethylene in the battery chamber of one of my cameras whose chamber is somehow tighter than its identical twin.
Using it means it takes a bit more time and care to load a battery, just enuf to make sure its not hindering the contacts.
BTW, is the spring that you found a sorta conical spiral ? Thaz whatz in my SL-1 which uses the same battery as the M-series.
I think it was, User ID. At the time I didn't know what to think of it, thought maybe it was something from outside that stuck to my shoes, and just threw it away.
Well, I don't know that you can reattach those anyway.
Thanks, Userid

Hello everyone.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this happen before and if anybody knows of a solution.
After a lot of consideration I decided to turn my older equipment in as well as my main camera which is a Canon EOS M6 mark ii. As soon as I decided to do that, I noticed the battery in my m6 could not be removed. B&H accepted my older equipment offering a check, but would not take the M6. They said they do not do repairs.
I wonder if a situation like this has a solution. Are there any type of plyers or other tools that can remove the battery, and/or, can a new spring be installed? I was hoping to get either a canon eos r7 or an eos r6 markii. The mark ii is the best camera but much more expensive. Now, I am just out a camera. Again, if anyone knows of a solution to this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone.
The reason I think it is the matter of a spring is that just a day or two before, I found a spring on the floor. I didn't know what it was for until I noticed the battery was not coming out. So I am pretty sure that was the spring. How it popped out I don't know. I might take it down to a shop and see if they have any kind of pliers to get it out. If the spring is broken then I will have to force it out every time unless those springs can be replaced. The camera is still good as long as the battery is good. If I can get the battery in and out everything will be okay.
Thanks again
