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. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps:

1Have a charged battery ready to install.

2Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.

3Turn the system over so the bottom is facing up, oriented as in Figure 23.

4While pressing the battery lock (1), slide the battery bay release latch (2) to the right to unlatch it. Lift the battery out of the bay (Figure 24).

5Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it down so that the latches click into place.

6Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.

Hot-swapping Batteries

To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps:

BE SURE TO PLUG IN AN AC ADAPTER PRIOR TO REMOVING THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO BRIDGE BATTERY PRESENT TO SUPPORT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE BATTERY IS BEING REPLACED. IF YOU DO NOT USE AN AC ADAPTER YOU WILL LOSE ANY UNSAVED FILES.

1Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.

2Follow steps 3 and 4 in “Cold Swapping Batteries”.
