The Lenovo Solution Center program provides an automatic battery diagnostic test that determines if the
removable battery is defective. A removable battery FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic
test shows that the battery is defective. The only exception to this is if the battery is physically damaged
or a customer is reporting a possible safety issue.
If the Lenovo Solution Center program is not installed on the computer, the customer should download and
install the program to diagnose the battery, before getting a non-physically damaged battery replaced. Note
that the replacement of a physically damaged battery is not covered by the warranty.
