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.
Main Battery Pack
Removing the main Battery Pack
To replace a discharged Battery Pack, follow the steps below.
CAUTIONS: 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. In Hibernation mode, data will be lost if you remove
the Battery Pack or disconnect the AC adaptor before
the save is completed. Wait for the Disk indicator to
go out.
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 with the back of the computer facing you.
5. Slide the battery lock to free the Battery Pack for removal.
