computer has another battery power source.
In addition to the main battery pack, select models have extra(s) which can be
one of the below configurations:
Bridge battery (internal, not user accessible)
Second battery pack ( occupying the multi-purpose bay, user accessible)
Bridge battery and second battery pack
Hints and Reminders
See “Hot Swapping the Battery Pack (Optional)” for replacement instructions and
note the following hints and reminders on hot swapping:
Make sure the battery pack to be installed is charged.
The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between
-21C (-5.8 F) and 55 C (131 F).
