Replacing the battery pack

Please be aware that the battery pack is classified as a consumable item.

The operating life of the battery pack will gradually reduce through

repeated charging and discharging, and will need to be replaced when it

reaches the end of its operating life. In addition to this, you might also

replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare when you are

operating your computer away from an AC power source for an extended

period of time.
This section explains how to remove and install the battery pack, and

begins with the removal process which is detailed through the following

steps.

■

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 RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.

■

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 battery release latch while holding the computer or the

battery pack might fall out due to the unintentional release of the

battery release latch and cause injuries.
