Replacing the Battery
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged.
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries, follow these easy steps (Figure 23):
1
Have a charged battery ready to install.
2
Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.
3
Turn the system over, and position it so that the battery latches are closest to you.
4
Slide the right latch to the left to unlock it.
5
Slide the left latch to the left and hold it in place while you lift the battery from the bottom of the system (use the
thumbnail notch to the left of the left battery latch).
6
Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it in firmly so that the left latch clicks into place, then slide the right
latch to the right to lock it.
7
Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
