Taking care of your battery
The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your battery
and prolong its life.
Safety precautions
❖
If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or changes
color or shape while it is being used or charged, turn off the
computer's power immediately and disconnect the power cord/
cable from the power socket. Carefully remove the battery pack
from the computer.
❖
Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.
❖
Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging
will shorten its life, and reverse charging could damage it.
❖
Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another
metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can cause it to
overheat and may cause damage to the battery or the computer.
If the battery does not slide into the slot easily, move the battery
release lock to the unlocked position and try again. Do not force the
battery into position.
