Taking care of your battery
The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your
battery and prolong its life.
Safety precautions
❖ 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.

could damage it.
