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 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 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 that 
you can purchase through 

❖

A reverse polarity condition should be avoided with all 
batteries. The main battery is designed so that it cannot 
be installed to cause reverse polarity. 

❖

Charge the battery only in the computer or in a battery 
charger designated as an approved option.

❖

When you install the battery, you should hear a click 
when it is seated properly.
