Slide the battery release lock to the locked position.
Turn the computer right side up.
Reconnect any cables that were removed in step 3 of
"Removing the battery from the computer" on page
Restart the computer.
If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or changes
color or shape while it is being used or charged, turn off the
computer's power immediately and disconnect the power
cord/cable from the power socket. Carefully remove the battery
pack from the computer.
Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.
Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging
will shorten its life, and reverse charging could damage it.
Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another
metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can cause it to
overheat and may cause damage to the battery or the computer.
Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to
explode and release caustic liquid.
