Handling the battery

The battery pack is a consumable supply. If your battery begins to discharge too quickly, replace the battery
pack with a new one of the type recommended by Lenovo. For more information about replacing the
battery pack, contact your Customer Support Center.
DANGER
Do not drop, crush, puncture, or subject to strong forces. Battery abuse or mishandling can cause
the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to "vent" from the battery pack or coin
cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup
of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a replacement from
the battery manufacturer.
DANGER
Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to instructions included in the product
documentation.
