Your Notebook contains a
lithium ion battery pack.
Improper handling of the
battery pack can result in fire
and chemical burns. Do not
disassemble, crush, puncture,
short external contacts, dispose
of in water or fire, or expose it
to temperatures higher than
60° C (140° F). Replace only
with the Compaq battery pack
specified for your Notebook.

The battery charges whether
your Notebook is on or off. It
continues charging until the
battery is fully charged or the
AC power is disconnected.
If you will not be using your
Notebook for an extended
period of time, Compaq
recommends that you unplug
the electrical cord from the
outlet and remove the
battery while your Notebook
is not in use.

compartment door to remove
the door.
2. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment with
the label side turned up.
3. Close the battery compartment door by gently pushing up
on the door until it snaps into place.
Removing the Battery

1. Save your files.
2. If the AC adapter is not connected, turn off your computer.
3. Remove the battery compartment door by sliding it down.
4. Use the tab on the battery to pull the battery out.
Charging the Battery
To charge the battery, insert the battery in
the battery compartment and connect your

longer lit. This ensures that the battery is
fully charged.
