Battery Replacement
Replacing the Battery
The battery that comes with your computer provides power to the
real-time clock and has a lifetime of about three to five years. When
replacing the battery, use an equivalent 3-volt lithium coin cell
battery. A replacement battery may be purchased at your local
retailer or from the Compaq.com Web site.
The spare part number for a standard coin cell battery is 153099-001,
which corresponds to a CR2032 battery or equivalent.
WARNING: Your computer contains an internal lithium manganese
dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, or alkaline battery or battery pack. There is a
risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled properly. To reduce
the risk of personal injury:
■
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
■
Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C).
■
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose
of the battery in fire or water.
■
Replace the battery only with the Compaq spare designated for this
product.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the workstation or optional equipment. Before beginning these
procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by
briefly touching a grounded metal object.
Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of
together with the general household waste. To forward them to
recycling or proper disposal, please use the public collection system or
return them to Compaq, your authorized partners, or their agents.
