Replacing the Battery

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay, follow these easy steps:
1
Have a charged battery ready to install.
2
Perform one of the following two steps:
• Click the Fujitsu Battery Swap Utility icon on the desktop. Follow the instructions that appear to
put the system into Hibernate mode. Using this procedure saves your data and the system powers
down. It is then safe to swap the batteries.
• Save your data, then power down the system. It is then safe to swap the batteries.

Note that the battery latch on the left is spring loaded, while the latch on the right is not. Unlock the battery by
first pushing the right latch backwards, then pushing and holding the left latch (Figure 17). While holding the left
latch, lift the battery out at the lift point (Figure 18).
4
To install a battery, first verify that the right latch is pushed back. While pushing the left latch back and holding
it, insert a new battery into the bay (Figures 19 and 20). Lock the battery in place by sliding the right latch
forward.
