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.
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.
5. Move the battery pack lock to its unlocked position.
6. Slide and hold the battery release latch to free the battery pack, and lift
the battery pack out of the computer.
Releasing the battery pack
■ When handling battery packs, do not 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 Sleep Mode.
Data is stored in memory and will be lost if the computer loses power.
■ In Hibernation Mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery or
disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the
Disk indicator to go out.
■ Do not touch the latch while holding the computer. If the latch is
unintentionally released, you may get injured by the dropped battery.
