You Need to Replace the Battery
The battery is not covered by the HP warranty. If a low battery message appears, the battery
can be replaced with a Rayovac or Mitsubishi BR2325/B2335 flat cell, available from
specialist stores. Also, an external battery with a 5 year life span is available (order 1420-
0513).
WARNING There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed. For your
safety, never attempt to recharge, disassemble, or burn the old battery. The
battery in this PC is a lithium battery that does not contain heavy metals.
Nevertheless, in order to protect the environment, do not dispose of batteries in
household waste. Please return used batteries to the shop from which you
bought them, to the dealer from whom you purchased your PC, or to HP so
they can either be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound way.
Returned used batteries will be accepted free of charge.
