Replacing the battery pack
When the battery pack reaches the end of its operating life you will need
to install a new one. The life of the battery pack is generally about 500
recharges. If the Battery indicator flashes orange shortly after fully
recharging the battery, the battery pack needs to be replaced.
You might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare
when you are operating your computer away from an AC power source.
This section explains how to remove and install the battery pack.
Removing the battery pack
To replace a discharged battery, follow the steps below. Refer to
Chapter 2, The Grand Tour, for component locations.
When handling battery packs, be careful not to short circuit the terminals.
Also do not drop, hit or otherwise apply impact; do not scratch or break
the casing and do not twist or bend the battery pack.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.
In Hibernation mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery and
disconnect the universal AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait
for the Builtin HDD indicator to go out.
Do not touch the latch while holding the computer, or you may get injured
by the dropped battery by unintentional release of the latch.
1. Save your work.
2. Turn the computer’s power off. Make sure the Power indicator is off.
3. Remove all cables connected to the computer.
4. Turn the computer upside down.
