Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to
display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means
the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LifeBook
notebook.
Replacing the Battery

is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:
