Replacing the Battery
Your LifeBook notebook comes with one battery pack, but it’s a good idea to purchase a second one. By
keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged. If the system
is not plugged into a power adapter, the battery can only be replaced by cold-swapping; doing otherwise
could result in loss of data. (Cold swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered
down.)
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 23)
1 Have a charged battery ready to install.
2 Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.
3 Push the battery bay release latches inward, then lift the
front of the battery away from the battery bay and remove
it from the bay.
4 Position the new battery in the bay and carefully lay it into
the tray. Press it down so that the latches click into place
to secure the battery.
5 Turn the power on.
