Introduction

It is important to have a healthy, functioning battery to ensure your laptop runs efficiently. If you notice after a long period of time that your laptop battery is draining faster than normal, you may want to consider replacing the battery.

When replacing a battery it is important to take several precautions. Make sure to avoid puncturing the battery, as that can cause a fire. Also, make sure to take appropriate precautions with a swollen battery. Always remember to power down the device before beginning replacement.

After replacement, please make sure to follow proper procedures when disposing of the battery.
