Battery safety precautions 
Never try to disassemble a battery.
Never overcharge or reverse charge a battery. 
Overcharging will shorten its life and reverse charging 
could destroy it, causing the release of toxic fumes.
Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with 
another metal object. Short-circuiting the battery will 
cause it to overheat and may cause permanent damage to 
the battery or the computer.
Never incinerate a spent battery as this will cause it to 
explode, releasing toxic materials.
If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. 
Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
To replace the main battery, use an identical battery which 
you can purchase from the accessory information shipped 
with your system or at
