Replacing the Battery

Your LifeBook notebook comes with one battery pack, but it’s a good idea to purchase a second one. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged. If the system is not plugged into a power adapter, the battery can only be replaced by cold-swapping; doing otherwise could result in loss of data. (Cold swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered down.)

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.

3Push the battery bay release latches inward, then lift the front of the battery away from the battery bay and remove it from the bay.

4Position the new battery in the bay and carefully lay it into the tray. Press it down so that the latches click into place to secure the battery.
