Installing a second battery

Your notebook has a modular bay that accepts a second battery. When a
second battery is installed, the system uses power from the second battery
when the main battery's power is exhausted. The second battery charges when
the notebook is connected to AC power.

1
If your notebook is on, save all work and turn off your computer.
2
Close the cover.
3
Turn your notebook over.
