your safety, never attempt to recharge, disassemble, or burn the old
battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. The battery in this PC is a lithium
battery which does not contain heavy metals, nevertheless, in order to
protect the environment, do not dispose of batteries in household
waste. Please return used batteries to the shop from which you bought
them, or to the dealer from whom you purchased your PC, or to HP, so
that they can either be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally
sound way. Returned used batteries will be accepted free of charge.
