Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay, follow these easy steps:
1 Have a charged battery ready to install.
2 Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.
3 While pushing the battery bay release latches towards the battery pack, lift the battery out of the bay using the
latches to lift it.
4 Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it down so that the latches click into place.
5 Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
