Insert the charged battery into the slot until the latch clicks.

The battery has been designed so that you cannot install it 
with reverse polarity.

If the battery does not slide into the slot easily, move the battery 
release lock to the unlocked position and try again. Do not force the 
battery into position.

Slide the battery lock to the locked position.

Turn the computer right side up.

Reconnect any cables that were removed in step 3 of 
“Removing the battery from the computer” on page 46.

Restart the computer.

The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your 
battery and prolong its life.

❖

If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or 
changes color or shape while it is being used or charged, 
turn off the computer’s power immediately and 
disconnect the power cord/cable from the power socket. 
Carefully remove the battery pack from the computer.

❖

Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.

❖

Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. 
Overcharging will shorten its life, and reverse charging 
could damage it.

❖

Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with 
another metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can 
cause it to overheat and may cause damage to the battery 
or the computer.

❖

Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to 
explode and release caustic liquid.

❖

If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. 
Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
