Replacing the Battery Pack

When the charge provided by your battery pack is supplied for only a short period of time, even after fully charging according to the instructions, it may be time to replace your battery pack. The battery pack is a consumable item and therefore will require replacement (CF-VZS351A).

CAUTION

Do not touch the terminals on the battery pack. The battery pack may no longer function properly if the contacts are dirty or damaged.

The battery pack is not charged when the computer is first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for the first time. When the AC adapter is connected to the computer, charging begins automatically.

Use only the specified battery pack (CF-VZS351A) with your computer.
