Changing The Battery - HP Vectra VE5 2 User Manual

CHANGING THE BATTERY

Special care is needed in changing the battery. Instructions for changing the battery are given
below.
You should order replacement battery HP 1420-0314 from your local Sales and Service office,
or a Rayovac 2325/2335 or Mitsubishi BR2325/BR2335, either of which is available from most
local stores.
After removing the computer's cover:
1 Remove the old battery by gently sliding it from under the retaining clip.
2 Place the new battery in the battery holder, with the cross uppermost, and ensure that it is
properly seated.
3 Ensure that the clip is in place and holds the battery firmly.
You can also install an external battery (HP part number 1420-0513), which you can order from
your authorized reseller.
Install the external battery as follows:
1 After removing the computer's cover, connect the external battery cable to the battery
connector on the system board.
2 Mount the external battery on the backplane, using the self-adhesive strip supplied.
After installing either a replacement or an external battery, replace the computer's cover and
run the Setup program to reconfigure the computer.
