Important notice for replacing a battery pack:
• The Lenovo Solution Center programprovides an automatic battery diagnostic test that determines if the
battery pack is defective. A battery pack FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic test shows
that the battery is defective. The only exception to this is if the battery pack is physically damaged or
a customer is reporting a possible safety issue.
• If the Lenovo Solution Center program is not installed in the computer, the customer should download this
program before a non-physically damaged battery pack is replaced. Note that a physically damaged
battery pack is not covered by the warranty.
