Replacing the Battery
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:
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 Orient your system as shown in Figure 26.
4 Push the spring-loaded battery latch away from the battery and hold it in place.
5 Push the battery lock to the right; this will unlock the battery.
6 Lift the battery out of the battery bay at the battery lift point (Figure 27) at the rear center of the battery.
7 Align a new battery into the bay, and press it down so that the latch clicks into place.
8 Push the right battery latch to the left.
9 Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Hot-swapping Batteries
To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps:
1 Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.
2 Follow steps 3 through 8 in “Cold Swapping Batteries”.
BE SURE TO PLUG IN AN AC ADAPTER PRIOR TO REMOVING THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO BRIDGE
BATTERY PRESENT TO SUPPORT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE BATTERY IS BEING REPLACED. IF YOU DO NOT
USE AN AC ADAPTER YOU WILL LOSE ANY UNSAVED FILES.
