Replacing the battery
The battery provides power for the system
If your battery is failing you may notice your system clock slowing down and giving you the incorrect time. If so, open the BIOS Setup utility and write down all the values in the various menus before replacing the battery. Replacing the battery resets the BIOS Setup utility to its default values.
Warning There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
