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 battery packs.
