Introduction

Despite the device’s MIL-STD-810G rating, sudden impacts or a puncture can damage or destroy the battery. Batteries can also fail to excessive heat or after a long service life inhibits charging. A faulty battery will result in a short or nonexistent battery life, an inability to charge, or damage to the device. Check the troubleshooting page first to make sure it is not a different issue.

Watch out for indications of damage, including swelling, cracking, leaking, or burns. If damage is present or suspected, perform this repair wearing fire-resistant or natural-fiber clothes. Keep your work area clear of flammable materials and have a working Class B fire extinguisher or other suitable agent on hand. Do not use water to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire.

Make sure to fully shut down the device and unplug any chargers and peripherals before beginning.
